About to close on a deal for a used 2002 deckboat with original 2 stroke Merc 125 exlpto outboard (blue -salt) the interior is almost perfect as well as bottom of boat and trailer. Issue is that marina which is brokering deal only knows that the outboard was "rebuilt" last year 2019. They reached out to the mechanic and only said the pistons were replaced. They didn't know anymore details than that. I asked what that meant since I am not very knowledgeable and they says majority of time from carbon buildup. Question is could this be a bad thing? I'm afraid there could be many other issues and previous owner only fixed what needed to be to be sellable. They don't know how long or if ever was in salt water. They said he spent $1600 on the work. Any help would be appreciated!
