There are a lot of Unscrupulous People unloading things, after they wreck them.
I have weeded out a few, by saying I would want the Motor checked by a Shop, of my choice, and that I was willing to pay for that. Any seller who baulked at that idea, saw me leaving real quick.
I did think of that, but I was 150 miles away from home, and on a weekend with boat shops most likely not open. I used to do that many years ago, when buying cars........,
