motor in question is a 97 erude vindicator 200. i'm told it's a 97, didn't check numbers yet. person selling doesn't know whether it's a ficht or not, and there are no decals on the cover saying it is. when did the fichts debut? how do you tell a ficht from non ficht without popping the cover? once the cover is off, is there an obvious difference, what to look for? is this motor in good shape one to buy or avoid? thanks for your time. dh

The '97 Vindicator is a carburetor outboard. The 200 FICHT was not even sold until the '99 model.
