Just out of curiosity, are they Rotax dealers? With used 2-strokes, especially ones advertised as rebuilt or overhauled and thus with prices to suit, you have to be very careful about what you're getting. If they're not an actual dealer, you could be taking your chances.
the only guys I'd ever consider buying a used 2-stroke engine advertised as rebuilt are Mark Smith and Steve Beatty. Both of those guys have done zillions of motors and even their dogs can do good teardowns and rebuilds.
Otherwise, just my suggestion, just getting a new one from a Rotax dealer will end up being the best bang/buck option.
not saying don't do it, just saying be careful and ask lots of questions about what was done to the engine, what was replaced, where'd they get the parts etc.....

He posts every now and then on some of the Yahoo groups I'm on, but havn't heard much from him for a while.
Wouldn't surprise me if he's getting out of it, the 2-stroke market is in pretty steady decline. Has been for a while unfortunately so harder and harder to keep a business based on it going. That's why I want to nab an engine before they go bye-bye!
