It needs a bath but we've settled on a price of $2750. I'm not crazy about the layout but for that kinda money i cant pass it up. I'm gonna compression check it tommorow and probably bring it home. It needs a water pump and the tank drained, its been sitting.

That 200 hp is thirsty, so make sure you're getting a good deal - sounds pretty good.
Also, those 200's were a bit prone to getting something in the cylinder sleeves hung up, and boom, blown engine. Check if the engine is factory original or rebuilt to any extent.
If you want to know what to look for specifically in a used 200hp Evinrude, I suggest you call a few dealers / repair shop and just ask this question to some experts.
Best of luck with it.
