I just purchased a boat with a 1972 Johnson 70 hp stinger 2 motor. The motor will need about 1k in parts in labor to get in back in shape. Mechanic told me it needs a water pump, carbs and fuel pumped cleaned, new filter, seals, lub etc. Tune-up too. I am going to have it fixed, but my question is should I keep this motor on a 17 ft boat (I know it's a very good motor) or is it better to sell it and buy a newer motor? And is the mechanic being honest with the amount of parts and labor? I'm a female, don't know much about fixin a motor but have been boating my whole life and can do the basic maintenance. Any advice? Thanks!
