If so that would definitely be worth checking out. Only thing that throws me off is if that's a FICHT motor. I know that's right around the time BRP bought out OMC and fixed the FICHT problems but I have heard many bad things about the older ones. I could be wrong, if so I'd certainly try and go see it, especially if he'll work on the price some.
