I might have a chance to get a 02 honda 8 hp, 4 st, long shaft, would this work well on a 18' explorer, motor has about 25 hrs on it, books out at about $700. Thanks

If the motor runs properly, you will love it.

I have 2 friends w/ 1775's running that same motor w/ 100's of hours on them. They love it. $700 seems like a steal to me !!
