[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 415003, member: 8516"] Best wishes to you. I'd say, since you are in high school and $1000 plus is a bunch of hours in a part-time job, you would be best served with an older Johnson/Evinrude, with the impeller etc, checked out by a pro. The old 2 strokes are workhorses, and you should probably be able to get one in the $350 range, and get it checked out, with the impeller work, for no more than $150. A new motor for somewhat in your situation is a needless expense, in my opinion. Best wishes and be safe. [/QUOTE]
