Default Mid 1980's Suzuki 75 hp outboards

Anyone know much about the quality or any paricular good or bad points about mid 80's Suzuki outboards.
I'm toying around with picking up a 17' aluminum boat just for kickin around and fishing some local lakes and ponds at home when I can't get up to my Seacraft.I know nothing about Suzuki outboards of that vintage.
The seller claims that he just had the dealer install a new fuel pump,water pump,plugs,etc.and that he had them do a compression test and all cylinders were at 120lbs.

He's selling the boat (17' Sylvan) motor and trailer for 1900 bucks so it's not a lot of money.He says the motor runs good.
I'm only going to be on small lakes and ponds so I'm not worried about small monor things,but also don't want a problematic motor.

Anything I should know good or bad about that age motor.?
