Good Morning Moxie Man,
I agree with with Hotrod’s points. Some other things that you should be looking for is that the water jacket is not cracked.
( not an uncommon issue ) Lower units in most cases are totally worn out. The reversing lower unit on the model A will most likely need attention as well. I personally view the typical unrestored rowboat motor as puzzle pieces and expect to end up machining new parts. It all depends on what your goals are with it. As far as price, I personally stay clear of pricing motors as I feel this is a personal choice. ( as you have mentioned )Opinions will vary.

If you purchase one and have technical questions please feel free to contact me.

Respectfully
