You didn't say how many hours it has done.
If you're going to buy a BF130, then a 2003/2004 year is the best model to get. Pre 2003, pre BZBE 1400001 they had a possibility of a cracked cylinder head, & even earlier the possibility of a cracked cylinder.
Being a 20 year old motor if it's been only used in fresh water it's probably OK, but if it's been used in salt water I wouldn't recommend it, as you may end up having to renew the cylinder head, etc at some stage due to corrosion.
