Won't last long

[wannabe fisherman]

I have a neighbor that has an older E'rude 18hp that is going in a yard sale 7/7/07 He says it runs good,but might need a water impeller. He wants $200 for it.
I know this isn't the right section for this,but Saturday is only 3 days away. If interested send a pm to me or e-mail to [email protected]
Update; The motor is a 68. I just came from his house and it does run good and it doesn't look like it needs a pump as it was moving water pretty well. Gas tank is included.

runs well in a barrel. I didn't think to look,but I think it's a short shaft. I'll find out and get back to you.
Well that didn't take long The length from the power head to the prop shaft is 24 inches. I guess that makes it a short shaft, my 50 force is short and it is a little longer than that.
