I am a little concerned that the boat I am looking to get has a Yamaha 115hp 2 stroke.

Its a 2005 motor, it was sold at the dealer, had one owner and serviced in house the whole time (older gentleman owned it, lucky if he put 30hrs a year on it).


I am juts concerned because around that 5 year mark is when motors start to hit the fan? Is this true? Can the motor not need to be rebuilt if treated properly?

Is this engine reliable? Any known issues?


Any help is appreciated........
