As other have said, check the transom first. I like to stand on the lower unit of the outboard, then use your body weight to carefully try to flex the transom, just as the motor would do while accelerating. It really should be rock solid. If it flexes, I would walk away. The transom is the FIRST thing to check on any boat before purchasing.
