Here's the deal....I have a chance at picking up a 2000 Johnson 60HP for $650. It's a remote 20" tilt trim, no prop, or controls (which I already have). I have not seen the motor yet and would have to travel out of state to get it. I am going to use it only in freshwater. The motor has been ran in saltwater. The motor also need a rebuild on the powerhead, according to the guy selling the motor it lost the #3 cylinder this summer.

Are there any severe issues with buying a saltwater engine that I should look for? Also does anyone have a rough idea of how much it would cost to rebuild the powerhead....I would do the work myself.

Thanks for any input I appreciate it!!
