I wouldn't focus on the year as much on the condition-

Re: used engine
Just because its newer dosnt not mean its better. In fact newer means more expensive repairs and more complicated systems.
If it aint broke your not having enough fun

Re: used engine
We bought a 2010 Merc 90 came off a bass boat, so far it is working out great, we know the boat shop just pulled it off another boat, doesn't know a thing about it, but is willing to at least get us a another one, if it doesn't work out and we only gave 3000. for it .
