"Chris.... The 6hp model is a very good design and is well worth $100 if all is well. Make it a point to check the lower unit to make sure there is no water or metal filings in it.

It will push a small aluminum boat with two men, but you're not going to break any speed records, however I think you'll be satisfied with its performance.

Gear lube is "HiVis" (80/90w) available at K-Mart, Wal*Mart etc. Use Champion s/plugs J6C, gapped at .030. Good luck.....
