info on a 1998 200hp Evinrude Ocean Pro?

I am looking at a boat with a 1998 200hp Evinrude Ocean Pro. Any info on whether these are good motors or what to look for will be helpful. Also, the hull is in great shape, a Mako 21'. The motor has approx 700+ hours. Please share your thoughts. Thanks,

I have one on a 21 Hydrosport, put over 600 hours on it in 4 years(Now over 1000 hrs) and only two issues-trim pump,$150.00, installed myself, and fuel pump-Injection pump got whacky, disonnected it. All the fittings are on the motor to do so from the factory, and a diaphram in the fuel pump, kit was $22.00. Fuel economy leaves a bit to be desired compared to a new four stroke. Went out yesterday, covered 78 miles and burned 50 gals., really sloppy seas. Very dependable motor.
