V20 vs Northcoast 20

[Carl]

I have a offer / opportunity that I can purchase a 2006 Northcoast 20 with a Suzuki 150 (2006) (4-stroke) for around 12K. My current situation is - I need a motor for my V20 since my 1986 Mariner broke in a big way this past fall. I have been shopping around for rebuilt and used motors and stumbled upon this deal. Now initially I do not want to give up my V20, but this seems like a pretty good deal. Your thoughts and comments? What kind of reputation does the northcoast brand have? How about the 150 HP 4stroke zuki? Warranty, maintenance issues, known problems, things to check out during inspection etc.

Thanks

Carl
