1990 Yamaha 200ETXD - any good?

That is a 2.6 liter carbed, great motor and a workhorse. Some might even call it bulletproof. Shift rod went to stainless in early 90's and the tiller arm area/ steering tube/ trim motors prone to rust in the salt. Run it, those motors idle and run smooth for carbed. The later efi (OX66) versions also great motors and sought after two strokes weren't all that much better on gas.

This one has minimal rust in the areas you described, and no corroded aluminum from what I can see. If I decide to use it I will go with one of those replacement 2 part stainless shift rods.
