I'm seriously considering a 1990 Seafarer with a 200HP Yamaha. I'm a very hands on guy, rebuilt many smaller fiberglass boats. But, I don't have the most experience with larger outboards (50HP+). The boats motor looks to be in good shape but has 800hrs on it. Is that considered a lot for an outboard?

Thanks in advance.

Not really, it could see over 2000 hours if maintained and not abused. How is the shift rod? If that goes its big time trouble.
