the fact of the matter is you're buying the boat for the hull, not the motor. i went through this same issue a few ywears ago. my 18 had a mercury 200 on it when i bought it. i ran it for two years (after redoing the scuppers and building a new splashwell), then sold it for a smaller motor when the timer was right. i guess what im saying is if you love the boat, get it and deal w/ the motor stuff later. just my .02
