[QUOTE="Buster, post: 511013, member: 27745"] 1966 boat, 2022 outboard here. I'm not a boat nut (I'm a woodworking nut) but I think there are concepts applicable to all such things. There isn't right or wrong, but rather fit your personality and approach to the hobby. In woodworking, many people get caught up in the fun of having cool woodworking tools and spend more time with tools than actual woodworking. Others know all they need is decent steel and they can get back to making chips. My boat is about fishing and it's all I need so I went with the new motor to take that issue off my list of concerns. If you're a gear guy and buy and sell a lot and that's your thing, go with the double upgrade because it's in your blood and regardless of what you do now you'll end up wanting to change/upgrade in a few years. If you're just looking for functionality, you're happy with what you have, you won't be seeking an upgrade sometime in the next few years, and you want to get your boat reliably on the water, buy the new motor.
