[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 382142, member: 7376"] also don't forget to remember that the old motors, 2 or 4 stroke both, tend to need repairs from time to time. Spark plugs, lower unit, potentially powerhead repairs.....that stuff is a lot less likely with a new motor; and even then your warranty would cover you if it was a defect. I'm pretty sure there's no warranty on a 1970's outboard. 2 stroke tends to want a little more fiddling with it, which it time not spent on the water. This is not always the case but I have found it to be accurate in my own observation with my own motors. I have both and still prefer the 4 stroke even with the 4 stroke's disadvantage. [/QUOTE]
