    2006 Yamaha 200 4 Stroke question

    I've got the opportunity to purchase this motor for 7500USD. Has a rebuilt powerhead. Compression is good, starts, runs, accelerates smoothly. Are there any known issues with this engine? Was the internal corrosion problem fixed by this point? Thanks in advance for any comments or thoughts.
