[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 510965, member: 31103"] It's sounds as if you and I are similar: We'd rather be fishing than working on boats and outboards. Assumption: You are confident that your current boat is in good shape and there are no hidden or emerging issues. If it was me, and if the boat was in good condition and met my needs, I'd opt for the motor. Your current boat is a known quantity. You could search for months for just the right used boat in your price range and still end up with a maintenance nightmare. You could have issues with a new motor, too, but you'd have a warranty and a dealer to rely on. Another consideration: Upgrading motor now would allow you to get some more years out of your boat. If you decide to change hulls in the future, you could transition the new motor over to that new hull. I personally like tiller-steer. It frees up a lot of space in the boat. [/QUOTE]
