I asked a question about a boat earlier, and people commented negatively on the motor. It's a Chrysler outboard, either 70 or 75 HP.
Its a Chrysler Charger, if that makes a difference
 
There's nothing "bad" about them, but where would you go for service or parts?
 
terrible got stuck in the middle of the lake with a 35 try by turning it on but pour water on it continuously while running it may be its not totally as bad as mine.

they are the worst and were sold to force put your wallet away and step away from the motor they sucked when they were new
 
i had a similar Chrysler to the one you are looking at. it was a 15 ft. 55 horse and it was not any fun i got it dirt cheap and there was a catch to it the motor as explained to me had some minor problems i said ok no prob im a mech. i can handle it the problem was these motors are out dated so i had to rig the motor with my own southern ingenuity and used parts from other boats i had to get rid of it and it still took forever to do that even though it ran fine because its outdated ive got a boat now with a mercruiser 188 horse and its sweet you cant beat it plus its a ford 302 motor parts are unlimited new and cheap and best of all it runs on pump gas no mixing oil and rest of the nonsense
