Giani, Good luck on selling it. We had the same motor as an interim between
the old Albin and the new Yanmar. It exceeded hull speed and after numerous
dunkings by following seas started right up. Nissan makes a good motor. In
all fairness though we found it next impossible to get parts for the 3.5 we
used on the dinghy while in Mexico. Lost a screw to the carb while cleaning
it once. We got rocked by a wake just as I took it apart for cleaning. It
went overboard. Fixed it with a screw from the handle of my Makita drill.
