Main issues so far was alternator went out, the other stuff was minor corrosion issues.  Judging by the hours, yours has been used a lot, thats actually better than not being used. 
 
What did the former owner do to put that many hours on the motor?

The former owner was a fishing boat captain, hence the hours.  The same mechanic was used for the life of the engine so far.  I am getting the engine from that mechanic.
Thank you, decision made!
