Looking at a boat with this motor on it. Any opinions on this motor would be appreciated. I was told it was a FICHT (perhaps misspelled) and I should stay away . Should I heed the warning?

FICHT's made their appearance in 98'....post the model number and we'll know.

Does the motor have carburetors? If so it is not fuel injected [FI].

Get the model number and check against the BRP parts manuals' list of models:
