Evinrude 100 XP

[khaki06]

Hi everyone I just acquired my first boat! It is a 1989, 16-foot Starline Sierra walkthrough with an Evinrude 100 XP. What is everones opinion on the 100 XP? Is this a good motor? What seperates the XP's from the non XP engines? Anything I should look out for or be concerned about? Thanks in advance for any help provided.

You might want to use the search engine above and use "100XP" as one word to find threads of interest.

Other than the fancy badging, the 100 has carbs which will flow more fuel than the 90. I'd do a compression check to baseline your engine. If the compression is ok, with proper care, it should be a reliable engine. There were tens of thousands of these flatback crossflows made over the years-a popular engine that is easy to find parts for.
