I am looking at buying an older Starflight that has this engine on it. I am not real familiar with Evinrudes... and since this one has been painted, I am able to find even less!

I was hoping someone might recognize it and be able to tell me something about it.

The cowl on it does not look like any other Evinrudes I have seen. To me it looks like a Johnson cowl...

Any guess or info?

Thanks!
 
there is Evinrudes that look like this I cant remember the year, but the XP's cowl looks like the Johnson GT's being a 235 puts it between a 78-85 I know they made 235 XP's in 84/85 but not sure what other years. I also know they are strong motors I had a 79 235 the had been performance built by the factory, that was way more power than 235... it would turn 9k all day, it was on a Glassmaster(very heavy boat) that ran 85-90mph, I was banned from the boat races I helped at because I would pass the tunnel hulls racing getting to a flipped boat, then drag the thing to the shore, quite funny actually but that all i can offer, hope you find more info!

E235STLCRC

Any ideas? Junk? Good, bad, indifferent?

Thank you everyone for your input
 
Its the kind of motor Im looking for, if you dont want it and it runs ILL gladly take it off your hands!!! Ill trade ya the hope to be soon mine 78 Johnson 175 for it...lol


1984 235 HP
E235STLCR 2.6XP

This 1984, 235 hp is made for saltwater. This outboard engine weighs approximately 396 pounds. It has 6 cylinders. The pistons have a 160.3 displacement. The bore width is 3.62" and the stroke length is 2.58". This model has a electric starter and power steering.

RPM Information: 5250
 
235 OMC ....

That motor was the same basic block for the 150, 175, 200, and the 235 hp. It was the last of big "cross-flow" domed piston block engines before they starting building the big block loopers in 85-86.

It was/is a pretty bullet-proof engine if it had reasonable care.
 
Thank you!

Thank you all for the information!

I think this one is a go! Guy says he bought it off iboats about 3 years ago and it has about 10 hours since the rebuild. The boat is an '85 and only has 215 hours since new.

Hopeully I will be using it to scream across the water again.... soon.
 
The 235 was a cross flow and there is nonway you can get 9 grand
out of it. They just won't flow that high unless you
put about 3k in a port job. Great idlers and low end, but no racer
by any means. Not meant to be overrevved past 6800 stock
 
Lol I ran 9k all day, but if you noticed I said it was a factory performance built 235... Not one off the show room floor....
