    2001 225 mercury optimax triple purchase input

    Hello guys, Im new guy here on scream and fly and I need input on 2001 triple mercury optimax motors that Im thinking of buying,
    motors were maintained by one mechanic who said that they never had major problems with them, they are up to date, red collar injectors, one lower has been rebuild and they have 350 hours on them.
    Customer was maintaining boat and motors with open check book.
    Im ready to go to check the motors, see running history, check compression.
    Ive read of course some horror stories about this particular year, but as well I read that certain amount of these motors were pretty much flawless.
    Ive would like to hear what you guys would have to say since this is your field.
    P.S. seller wants to move them and price for triple is 10K...
    thank you for all input!

    I have a low hr one I got used, and it has been a real performer. Great power and great fuel mileage. No problems since purchase.
