BHM 25 with OMC outboard and trim tabs

[eglicomet]

I've been looking for my first DE and found an odd boat. Anyone ever seen a BHM25 with an OMC SeaDrive outboard? Was this a thing?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!

Stay away from outdrives all are junk !!!

OMC Sea Drives were marketed in the 1980's and did not perform as well as conventional outboards.They were basically Evinrude motors mounted to a unique hydraulicly activated bracket for trim and tilt. They came in V4 and V6 models. I would stay away from them because they are obsolete. But if push comes to shove, you can take a powerhead or lower unit from a mid-late 80's Evinrude or Johnson outboard and replace the Sea Drive parts with them. Even the wiring harness is a plug in. More work than it's worth these days.
