Re: 2000 Evirude 150
Could be a Ficht or a carbed smallblock v6 looper that was first introduced in the early 90's.... If it is then it's a 350lb. Reliable gas guzzler and a great motor. If it's a ficht and it is in good workin order then it will probably be fine. A buddy of mine is a dealer and he's always saying when they were good they were fine for the most part, but some others would have repetitive failures. I would take the serial # to a brp dealer just to see if there were any repairs under warranty from omc in there system or the local servicing dealer at the time if possible. It seems like there are a lot of issues with some of the early merc optimax's and the ethanol also.
There are plenty of great SC's out on the market for all different budgets if you're willing to search and travel some so don't fall in love on the first date.
