Then 13,500 sound pretty good, provided they run....That is actually a decent deal.

Having the oil pumps removed is not a problem, alot of people believe it is actually better. The only downside that I know of is having to mix oil with your large amount of gas.

I premixed on my old boat after I had an engine rebuild. Premix is fine, just two minor issues.

First, you have to put gas in the boat in even quantities (at a 50 to 1 ratio).

Second, because you will have a straight 50 to 1 mix at all times, the engines may smoke a little when trolling (my old engine did anyway [buy, hey it was a JonnyRude, and JR''s are supposed to smoke).

At the very least you should know the compression numbers.
