dt 200

[Ed]

I had a 1998 DT 225. Ran great from 2001 until I sold the boat in 2007 with 800 or so hours. The problem with these motors is the lower units are prone to cracking around the prop housing. Unlike most outboards, they do not have a grease fitting inside the housing which is why they crack (corrossion builds up in them). FInding good lower units (as well as parts) for these motors is very, very difficult

Unless it is free (or almost free) I would suggest that you look for something else.
