Stay away from OMC and Force.
Mercruiser and Volvo is your best bet. Volvo parts can be a little more expensive
Bayliners are a good cheap boat. Maxums, Glastron, Cobalt, Bluewater, Reinell, etc. All good boats.
Watch for rot in the floor and engine mounts. And get a good look at the stringers to see if they are fiberglassed and don't have rot.
ALWAYS take a test drive. If the seller won't do it. Walk away.
Hours will depend on the year. Most people say 1000 hours is ready for a rebuild.
iBoats is a good forum and store.
