So long as the motor has been well taken care of, it should perform flawlessly. I have a 2005 and a friend of mine has an 85 and neither of us have run into any problems whatsoever.
I know my motor can get a bit "thirsty" if I keep it at WOT making runs, but when I throttle back to around 4000 RPM or so, it does really well.
If it starts well, and runs smooth, both in the driveway and on the water (see if you can water test it) I wouldn't hesitate..
Good luck and enjoy!!
