97 would be like burning your money while setting yourself on fire, and getting kicked in the nuts. NO WAY would I tell somebody to buy a 97-00 150/175 FICHT. They are worse than the beloved optipop(optimax). Starting around 2001-2002 they got alot better, but still alot of problems. When the FICHTS are running right they are some of the most fuel efficient powerful engines out there, but the downside was so many spent so much time not running right it isn't worth the gamble. The 200/225 had alot less trouble, but the FICHT name haunted them. Theres a reason that BRP dropped the FICHT name in a hurry after they took over.

Thanks guys..... I think I'll keep shopping.... I'd have about 2k in it before I could even try it out.... The whole reason for motor shopping is to get a reliable motor.... I don't think I could trust this one any more than my '75 merc 1150...
Again THANKS
