[QUOTE="sixgun86, post: 262542, member: 5345"] Since you are in FL most likely anything you come across will be a salt motor, and if they are claiming it's not I'd call BS. Easiest way to tell the water jackets condition is pull the thermostat. It's usually easy to get to and will reveal if the motor has if indeed been exposed or flushed properly. IMO is you plan to spend more than 1k on a used motor and don't know what to look for It's probably best to pay a Marine tech that works on that particular Mfg'r for an hour of his time. It could save you LOTS of $$ down the road and buyers remorse. [/QUOTE]
