yamaha 200 parts

[Ribtec1]

I was running a yamaha 200 2 stroke on my rib but I ran into problems when I blew the engine. I damaged 2 pistons and the block. I am wondering if anyone would know where ther might be a suitable powerhead available. My engine is a 1996 as far as I know. Also I am browsing the internet for a possible replecement engine. I spotted a yam 175 2 stroke for sale in hampshire and I am wondering if it belongs to anybody here or if anybody knows the story with it?

Is that 175 an HPDI off an Avon 620?

Hi
No it's an older 1988 2 stroke engine advertised on Boats and Outboards. I know that there are a lot of scams on that site so I am just trying to be as careful as possible
