Thanks for the input!! I know Yamaha has a reputation for building good motors and that is why I am considering taking on the challenge. I repair CNC machines for a living so I have good mechanical skills and more tools than most, but I haven't worked on outboards much and would hate to end up taking it to a marina to have it fixed. I'm trying to be as money conserving as possible but when I bought my first boat years ago people told me to B end O ver A nd T ake it.... Now I am hoping to get a second boat up and ready for the water so I get a double shot of BOAT. The guy won't be back until Monday so I will wait and see if we can't come up with a better deal on the boat and motor. My 82 V20 (the one in the picture) has been a great boat and I look forward to many more years with it. It was rough in the beginning as it has the 470 in it and the usual problems, charging system, cam seals, oil pan, but I fixed all that and have no real problems with it now. I do have a low speed problem (trolling) but I will post in the repair section on that. Thanks again..
