I have a chance to buy a complete running merc xs65 for $600. Thinking i might put it on my jon boat . Is there anything that makes this motor not so good for running on rivers ? Can you use the front half of the crank case on later style of motors?

I personally don't know that much about a 650xs but for $600 running doesn't sound bad
I think if it's a 650XS this is a great deal , but for everyday use on a Jon boat not a good choice . Not sure they were made in 74 , they were listed in 76 advertising . You wouldn't have any problem selling it, if it's a real 650XS . Post some pics if you can .
I decided to pass the information to a hydro racer that was wanting it. I'd love to have it but it would be sometime before i could use it. I have to other projects going on and not much time. Its on craigslist on southeastern missouri or was
I wouldn't have used it everyday but just for **** and giggles once in awhile.
You're gonna have fun trying to locate carbs and linkage for that beast.

He has the carbs for it just rebuilding them when pictures were taken
