Re: Would you buy it?

Well, like everyone says, you have to make the assumption that the powerhead is toast, and make an offer based on that assumption…
Have you seen the engine? Is it fresh or salt water? Is it in nice cosmetic/mechanical condition otherwise? Gearcase look OK, not busted/cracked/leaking?
There are so many factors that will influence your offer, how much does the seller want for it?
If you buy it, you can hope that the head gasket is just blown, and perhaps the powerhead can be resurrected. If not, just keep looking for a reasonably priced used powerhead, they are out there….Just be sure you are not buying more junk though…
