You must be typing on your smartphone, cause that was just hard to read. Think I got the jist of the joke, though. But seriously, I think you can see the difference between a motor that is producing metallic build-up on one of the plugs vs. one that checks out good. I know the boat is gonna cost me lots of money over time. I just scrapped a motor that I thought was excessively corroded, showed signs of having been overheated, and had no trim/tilt assembly. If I wanted a "trouble" motor, I would've just slapped a t/t on it and headed out. I don't mind spending a few thousand to get something "relatively" reliable. Kinda looking at that 175HP Evinrude in Jupiter that Ferm is endorsing. May not be too different than the one you picked up because the guy "thought it may break soon".
