Sterling,<br /><br />That is a good engine. Before you buy-check:<br /><br />1. Compression-should be with in 10% on each cylinder.<br /><br />2. Watch/listen as it runs.<br /><br />3. Check water pump output.<br /><br />If you do buy it, I would change the water pump, (unless it's recent) and the lower unit fluid. Make sure to replace the fill/drain plug screw seals when you do.<br /><br />Happy hunting!
