Santiago, I can't say for certain, but appears to be not that many. It runs strong and even. I don't think it has been used much in the last couple
of years, but will try to find out an approximate hour time.
I would guess it higher than I was first thinking to be safe..say 400. It's gotta be one of the best buys available in Baja Sur at the moment.
Here's a photo of the type of hydrofoil fin on the motor. Trims it nicely for best fuel economy.

needs a T top but would a bimini fit it?
just need one and the frame's mounting hardware, right? that could fit in my plane disassembled i think.
that is the high prressure fuel injection too right? better mileage than older 2 strokes? Ficht?
Roger can you keep a cover on it while you're storing it for me??

I believe that the Ficht was used with Johnson motors not Mercury.

Thats not an injected motor. Carbed, I'm pretty sure. You dont want any injected motors from that era.

Now wait just a minute...
Roger...Everyone knows that a fishin' boat has a finite number of 'fish kills' in it's lifespan, causing me to speculate on why you are giving up the
'ship...
With the huge number of 'kills' rumored by this machine, the remaining 'takes' by a new Skipper may surely be limited!
With these facts in evidence, your Honor, I suspect the asking price might be somewhat inflated, and in fact, a new prospective owner may need to be
'paid' to haul it away...text me, I'll keep my asking price modest...what size hitch ball do I need to weld on the back of my Vespa? 
Ray
BTW, would that be a 'Trophy Wife' in your first photo?

Is that all sarcasm or are you saying that a Nomad would be trying to stick it to another nomad?

Roger...
...that's indeed a fine fishin' machine...and sounds like a good deal for someone who wants to wet a line or two...my attempt at a little 'humor' on
the subject may have gone awry in some other's eyes...
I enjoyed your trip pics around Concepcion...ah, memories...regards,
Ray

Ray...both you and I know better. Don't sweat the small stuff, amigo, I know you're a good guy.
Stop by anytime for a cold one.

Hey Rog......Those are great boats. If the trailer is as good as it looks, someone is going to be getting a Really good deal. Average price here in
Puget Sound, even in a down economy, would be right around 20k.....Oh Boats. ++C++

If you are comfortable with hand tools, it is quite easy to install one of the 'trampoline-top' towers yourself. A good example is one from Atlantic
Towers..runs about $1200 USD.
77" X 56" T-top with legs and frame fabricated from 1 1/2" schedule 40 (2" O.D.) pipe for a strong, light weight (about 75 lbs) T-top that can be
custom fitted to consoles up to 55". Finished in bright "chrome-like" anodized finish which is salt-water resistant. Choice of 4 fabric colors for
the Traditional "trampoline" style lace in top at no additional charge. Optional antenna plates, electronics box brackets, and Atlantic's
"Adjust-O-Launcher" rod holders in gold or clear anodizing are available
• High Strength welded frame of schedule 40 marine grade aluminum pipe, finished in durable salt resistant bright clear anodizing.
• Fully adjustable legs fit console widths of up to 55”, offset base pads allow legs to fit tightly to sides of console.
• 58” x 77 1/2” “Trampoline” style sunshade comfortably covers the console area of most boats 16’ to 25’ Light weight (approx. 70 lbs) will not upset
the stability of even small center console boats.
You can also order just the radar and fishing arches by themselves.
If you want it installed by others in Baja, there are a few places in Loreto, La Paz, San Jose, or Cabo where one could get it done. Not hard at all,
just needs a tool guy. Maybe even build you a custom tower. A new outfit in La Paz you could check with is Baja Boat Builders. Sorry, don't have a
number, as I'vejust heard about them building custom boats.
.
Here's what that fabric-top would look like installed..

Thanks for all the inquiries.

You betcha, Dennis.
In this case it's paying me 9 cents profit. Good enough.
