We are considering buying an older 1970's vintage boat. It has a 80 horse Evinrude Starflite VIII electricshift hung on the back. Model #80693C and serial #E02932.
I'm looking for some info on the reputation of the outboards. I am not all that familiar with electric shift, is it reliable? I know parts will be all but easy to come by. I think the powerheads are strong if I recall correctly, but I'm not sure.
