My advice (as others have mentioned) is to buy 1-2 years old - ~ 100 hours or less.
If you are using on a lake - then IO is a great choice -
if you are going ocean or large body or water then pay attention to the deadrise (the v at the back of the boat) the deeper the vee or greater the deadrise, typically the better the ride. Flat bottom boats (18 degrees and under) tend to pound quite a bit in chop.
I personally like outboards - as many places I go have shallow areas. Easy to lift the whole outboard out and not have it mucked up...
