there is a 75' 70hp johnson for sale for 500$ however, it is off the boat so i couldnt try and run it until i got it home. is this a safe buy? i know these motors are excellent motors but doesnt mean this one is. what are your thoughts?

thanks for the replies. i did buy the motor for 350$ it needs a new seal kit in the lower unit for sure as i found water in the oil. i am mechanically inclined but have not had too much experience with motors yet. would a lower unit rebuild be something i could handle?
