not sure on any rebuilds. was told the compresion test was 111 lbs straight across. just assuming that it means on each, but will try to find more info from the seller. the seller has kept strict service maintenance (service before and after each season) Seller asking $1500 or best offer including controls, trim tabs and tack <br /><br />thanks

It would be great if we could all trust each other - unfortunately I haven't found that world. I would do my own compression check. Also check the gear oil & do thorough water test.<br /><br />What year? Sounds like it might be a great deal.

Re: 200 hp

tocool, sounds like a good deal to me. Take Solittle's advice and check gear oil, ask when the last waterpump was done and deffinetely water test it, I'd do my own compression check also. Good luck.<br />P.S. You don't have to start a new post if it is for the same topic, just keep adding on to your original post, or else it gets confusing.
