Don't confuse an 87 to an 86... 86 was the transition year for measuring
power at the prop instead of the shaft. I don't know about the 90 HP
but the 1986 225 Evinrude was a TRUE POS. It was the first of the new
model (replaced the old 235 model) and they had serious oil issues where
the boat would over oil and kill itself. I would personally not own a
1986 unless it was free... The new 1986 I had, I traded it a year later....
