Ok Justin. First off, buying a boat isn't a small step, multiple motors makes it a bit larger a step. But take the boat to the dealer service center, and pay for the check up/ service on the motors. Ask the mechanic the questions you need to ask. But, you should always have compression, and leak down test run, as well as the history of the motors you purchase. These newer motors have/and are getting much better on all the diagnostics being displayed and how the motor has been used.
If you plan to keep the boat for a while, and truly want it to last, get the owners and service manuals for it, and read them.
Good luck, and happy boating, but be responsible.
