"Its a EFI Four Stroke 125,I k

"Its a EFI Four Stroke 125,I know this guy used it on a commercial boat but he said he took it off at about 100 hrs."
 
"Dale, I would definately take

"Dale, I would definately take it into Merc and have it looked at before finalizing the deal.

4 strokes are not forgiving of "lack of maintenance". You don't want to be buying 3500 bucks worth of scrap.

You may spend a few bucks having it inspected but could save you in the long run.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a used 4 stroke without seeing the maint records and getting some kind of warranty - unless I was buying it "planning or fixing/rebuilding" - but maybe I'm just a little paranoid..."
