[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 338709, member: 5461"] Yup, doing a full on-water test is certainly the best way to go. But its pretty rare that someone selling a 30 year old 6 HP outboard for $400 is going to take the time and effort to do that. Its usually just a cash and carry type of deal. I sold an identical motor last fall for $400. I had it sitting on a stand and ran it for the guy who bought it. I gave him plenty of time to inspect the motor and ask any questions he wanted. But there is no way I was gonna put it on a boat, trailer it to a lake, launch it, and run it around .... all with a perfect stranger. It wouldn't have been worth my time. [/QUOTE]
