I would stay away from that engine if I were you, as there was a recall and everyone I knew that ran them or still have them have had major powerhead work done. Even with updates and recalls, it seems to be just a matter of time with those outboards before the repair bill gets big. I ran the same motor back in 2000 and had lots of fun with a brand new one back then. Post OMC ones were a lot better as BRP made things better, but on an older 2000 FIcht, even with 180 hours, I would be hesitant to buy that engine. What are you running for an engine right now on your boat? Repowering is a touchy topic price wise as you probably want to keep your same guages, steering, and throttle to keep the cost down. Chris K
