[Public-list] outboard motor purchase

[C.B. Currier]

Does it run?
Is it a reasonable price or really cheap? If so the get it ...should be
fine for the most part.
I suppose you are talking about somthing less than 7 hp in which case
those little motors go forever. Just worry about shear pins & the like
going. All else should be fine.
