1975 OMC 120 advice

Hi, I am looking at buying a 1975 Harris Flotebote 24' pontoon. The boat has been rebuilt beautifully from the deck up and has all the features that I'm looking for. My only concern is the OMC 120. The engine runs and drives nicely at this time. Hours are unknown on the engine.

Should I stay away? I'm mechanically minded but have little/no experience with boats. I understand that OMC is out of business, is there trouble finding parts, or service if needed? What should I look for when inspecting the engine?

Thanks,
Stan

In 1975, this would be an OMC Stringer Drive.
You would need to purchase this boat very very very inexpensively in order to come out at all OK down the road.
