Rude reporter here. Once again lots of great advice. BRP did indeed make the carb motors `til 05 I think. Soros started driving OMC off the cliff in `98. Some of the last OMC years had quality control issues, but if it has any hours ,you may be ok.
The early 92-3 had some casting issues , and those would grenade early on. Again if it has hours...
A flag for me is too few hours. Gotta run em, if only on the muffs. Cold compression test with carbs wide open.
They changed the wiring harness over to the system check tach in `96. Some like the old one better, but I don`t know the morse code of the horn and like the redundancy of lights.
Check the TnT for swelling seals { don`t ask me how they get in there}. If you see a dime size of corrosion on the motor you have a lot more inside.
Have fun,
GFS
Do not ever take an OMC ficht as a gift.
