1999 200hp FICHT, need advice

[henryban]

I am looking to buy a new (USED) engine (SINGLE) for my 20’ CC. I am looking at a 1999 200 HP Evinrude FICHT with approx. 350 hours running time. No repair history. According to the owner it runs perfect. It is a counter rotating engine (will that be a problem?). The compression is good. Any advice to help me make up my mind will be greatly appreciated. $4,000 is asked.

Someone has been very lucky, Henry. Do you want to press your luck?<br /><br />I wouldn't accept a '99 Ficht V6 that hadn't been completely updated to Bombardier specs as a gift.<br /><br />If completely updated the price seems decent.

Henry - Go to the red search at the top of the page and enter FICHT as a search arguement. Then get back to us with your thoughts.

the motor may be fine?<br />the counter rotation will make boat lean to starboard assuming your steering is on starboard side
