I haven't used a Johnson Sea Horse since I was 10 to 15 yrs old. ( A LONG time ago ).
Direct drive. If running, you were moving. for reverse, you pointed the engine in the other direction.
If you are looking at an original, they do exactly what they were designed to do. And, as with any used engine, "how good is it" depends on proper care and maintenance and responsible use and care.
If you are looking at something "modern", I have never seen one. Who knows what you are getting.
In any event, in the interest of maintaining the engine, I would look to acquire something less that a decade old...
( If Thudpucker were still with us, he would likely have a few refurb originals you could barter for... )

How cheap? I know Kipor tried to compete with The Honda 2K swim platform Gennie and failed. If you have throw away money, I'd be interested in the longevity.

$675! Really! I understand JB Weld Marine or 5200 work well.....
Air-cooled at idle because the drive has a centrifugal clutch so the water pump does not move and water drains down until revs are high enough to activate the clutch. Reports have motors being delivered with many very loose parts and no lockwashers or nylocks. Their other name is Hangkai I believe.
I'd try one if someone gave it to me, but I'd expect shipping costs for replacement parts would be spendy if they could be had at all.
