Those wide body dory's are great boats and 2 stroke yamahas are about as reliable a motor as you could get. Thats a great boat to start with. You could do a lot worse than that set up, but not much better for that price.

Get on this.... quick. Can’t see it sitting around, looks like an awesome boat, with everything you could need for a boat that size.

Pelletouse, in regards to the 3 that you posted, straight up I would be more interested in the one with the 40hp on it.
In saying that, if you are interested in them, take them for a test ride, start the motor cold. (Make sure the motor is not warm at all when you get there.)
They all look like decent boats for the money, as does the one that mickk posted.
If you can afford it, get an independent outboard mechanic to look at the outboard, get them pressure tested etc.
Hope this helps.

So why the 40Hp? Because its more powerful or because the boat look better?
And was wondering whats better between a 30 or 40 hp yamaha 2 or 3 cylinders and why?
Do you have any good and reliable outboaed mechani? And how much it. Cost for a check?
Thanks in Advance for your precious help.
Cheers
