Don't know motor personally but should be ok as a good brand in its day.
Approx 14hrs a year average not a lot.  Biggest problem is lack of use according to my mechanic - have you seen receipts met owner?  If serviced annually and flushed after each use should be ok.  But get checked out or put compression gauge on yourself, lift engine covers it should look ok.  Take it out a run is still almost 20 years old so should be priced accordingly.  I purchased a 1975 Johnson 25hp 12 years ago and it was ok - had been serviced annually and a careful owner and looked like it too.
Good luck!
Good fishing trip nothing breaks, great trip catch fish.
