outboard motor

I have been looking to but an inexpensive outboard motor to use on my 10 ft aluminum boat for fishing. A neighbor said he was selling his mand we tried it this weekend and it worked great. We used it all day Sunday just driving it back and forth. My question is, its about 20 years old (2 stroke of course), Its a Mercury, 8 hp, looks to be in good shape and well maintained. He's asking $450. Is that a good price? It comes with a 6 gallon gas tank and a stand to put it on when not in use.
