Comment on buying used outboards - you can get perfectly good used and save a lot of money if you do your homework like anything else.
1. Check the seller properly for any bad reviews, bad reputation and any BBB complaints.
2. Ask the right questions
3. Get what you need in writing - a reputable seller with nothing to hide will be pleased to provide what you request.
I've bought two separate 200 hp outboards at roughly 1/2 cost new and turned out perfect.
Large boat dealers often have fine used that get swapped out as owners want new or bigger motors.
Nice job you did listing the problematic motors, seems right on target.
