looking at a older boat it has a 140hp suzuki the year is late 80's. the price is good but a was not sure if they are known for any problems. the guy said it runs great..... i don't know if anyone has any input on it ?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news the old 2 stroke 'zukies are not known for reliability. Just my .02$

Go Here and ask.
