I am looking to buy a used 2003 Yamaha 60 high thrust. It is being rebuilt by a Yamaha mechanic who I have been told is one of the better mechanics by multiple people. The guy told me straight up that the motor was pretty abused and neglected by the previous owner. He was going to part it out but opened it up and the "guts" looked better than he expected and he decided to rebuild it.
Should I be scared of buying this? How much life can I expect to get out of rebuilt motor? Will I be spending more time getting it fixed than on the water?
FYI I will be putting it on a 16 ft McKee craft.
