well, just got back from looking at the suzuki .. a few problems .
the guy cut the wire harness .. not sure why .. and is not able to start or even turn the motor over. no idea of how many hours, compression readings ,etc.
also, there is a crack in the small fin (not sure what you call this piece) at the front of the motor .. is this cavatation plate???? it is the small one,not the biggest fin..
also a small piece missing from the skeg ...
biggest problem is even though the hood says 200 .. the model number is DT225 .. which is clearly not a 200 hp motor. i have the serial number, but not sure if it even is a 1998 or not.
does have ss prop, but he could not take it off for me to look for those cracks you were telling me about.
probably a wise decision to pass. i need to be patient here .. but that is not one of my strong qualities :)
