I'm looking at a couple of boats, mainly for the engines. As luck would have it, the boat I like best and the motor I like best aren't attached to each other.
One of the motors I'm considering is an 89 Gamefisher 7.5 HP with supposedly very low hours. I'm also looking at a 90 Yamaha of similar HP but the owner says it has a lot of trolling hours on it. Plus, it's on an older boat that's not in terribly good shape.
My questions:
1) Who made this model?
2) Are parts are easily available?
3) Is this something I should consider buying or should I pass in favor of a 'name' brand?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
