2005 Honda 150Hp 4 stroke Opinions

[Bassgod]

My uncle is looking at a deck boat and it has a 150Hp Honda motor on it. Are these as reliable as their cars? I know this is basically a Honda Civic engine. What should we look at on this besides compression and a test drive. The boat is 8 hours away, so this will be a one trip go-no go deal.
Are there any known issues to be aware of?
Thanks in advance.
