I talked to the seller again to get some more info. The outboard doesn’t come with anything such as a gas tank or the stand in the picture. He apparently bought it a couple years ago and never really used it because it was to big for his boat so it has only been used a handful of times. He said that it has been stored indoors only.

He also doesn’t have a title because apparently in Indiana they don’t have to have a title. I believe that I should be able to get a title in Ohio with just a bill of sale but I’m going to try to confirm that with the title office tomorrow.

There aren’t any lakes nearby but he said he has a barrel of water that we can run it in. He has replaced the gearcase oil but he hasn’t replaced the impeller or the seals. Should I be concerned? Whats the typical lifespan of seals such as the prop seal and drive shaft seal?
