So be it. I am not buying it that way.

Wise decision. I took a guys word for it once(my HYDRA-SPORTS) because the boat looked nice and the water level was low in the river and he didn't want to haul it all the way to the bay. I took it straight to a dep lake and once in the water I heard a noise you couldn't hear on the hose. Low and behold he was know where to be found after he had my money(and I bought it from him at his dad's house so it wasn't like I could find him either). Ended up needing 2 connecting rods and a crankshaft all because I took his word for it that the engine had just been rebuilt by a pro. And as for the powerhead swap, alot of guys have no idea OMC used 2 different length driveshafts. I asked an EVINRUDE master tech about it before and he looked at me with a dumbfounded look when I asked about the different length driveshafts. It's an issue that doesn't pop up right away, but gets you down the road when you use the wrong driveshaft.
