For what its worth I bought a 1992 Montauk in great shape this past winter, it also had a 1992 Yamaha 90 on it, basically they kept these motors the same for years except for carb & minor electrical stuff I believe until 2008 or so. Before I bought the boat I asked the owner approx. how many hrs were on the motor he was honest and guessed prob over 3000 hrs!! Said he replaced the shift shaft & 1 lower unit in it since new & had the carbs cleaned a few times. I was hesitant on buying it after that but I did, I checked compression and all cylinders were around 120 psi & it ran great...been using it so far this summer without a prob...starts up fine, idles fine & runs like a top! Makes me wonder when it does decide to blow to repower with 4 stoke or rebuild the 2 stroke. Hope this helps.
