need advice on used outboard purchase...

[bsteckel]

thanks, ferm. i sent an email to the guy with the 88 black max to see if it is indeed a 2.0 motor.

kamikaze... your motor sounds good, not sure what the older style power head means .. good, bad, neither. shipping would be the next question. would you consider shipping this motor? what is missing from the motor (controls, prop, etc) that i would need to scrounge up?

it is better to buy new controls as macojoe says for $500? i guess old cables could be a problem???
