[QUOTE="LaqueRatt, post: 511036, member: 32586"] Old motors and old boats rock! I suspect once you go through an old motor it may well be more reliable than a brand new one. They just have many more parts that like all parts are destined to fail. If you want a carefree motor it's all in how you take care of it. Mainly make sure there is NO untreated gas in the system if the boat is going to sit for more than a few weeks. IMO and maybe I'm the Lone Ranger here, but I think new motors on old boats look crappy. Makes your boat look older and shabbier.....UNLESS you restore the old boat maybe. Depends on the era though. A 2024 motor on a 60s boat will never look right. [/QUOTE]
