sounds like a good deal. from all reports 600hrs is not even half a life for a yammy 4stroke. as long as you get it all checked it sounds like a good deal.

Got nearly 600hrs on my
Got nearly 600hrs on my honda. Apart from a bit of sunfade , It's like new under the cover.
Modern 4 strokes should last thousands of hours if serviced regularly
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

Have a Traily 5.4
With a 4S motor and a good check on the hull Id say good deal. Get a pressure test on the Hull. That is relatively easy and you can do it yourself. PM me for advise if needed.

Sounds like a bargain, look
Sounds like a bargain, look closely and do a revs check on boat and trailer. Look for any evidence of fresh VIN/HIN number etc.
A trick is to copy HIN from a clean boat then it bypasses REVs altogether til you get caught with it.
sold my last TC with yam 4S for $33K, a little bigger but great boat
