Thanks guys. The boat that I'm looking at has the carbed 454 in it. This is good for me because I already have a spare engine that came out of my Seavette. I understand that the reversion problems were on the boats that have the fuel injected engines. I know about the exhaust reversion from reading about people’s problems on offshoreonly.com. I don't see it to be as much of a problem if you don't let the engine idle for too long. I've got a good amount of valve overlap on the cam that is in my 502, as a result I keep a close eye on this and so far I haven't noticed a problem. Consequently I try not to let it idle less than 1,000 RPM for too long.
