IMOHO, there are 2 type of Chrysler outboards. Those that are being repaired and those that need repaired. I'm sure there must be exceptions to that but I've never seen any.

They weren't good when they were new and they're even worse when 21 years old. It's gonna be hard to even find parts around if you wanted to try and keep it going. If the boat is in good shape, take it and repower, and use the Chyrsler for an anchor.

Or, you can believe what mm says and sell it cheaply to some unsuspecting newbie to outboards so he can enjoy it for the next 20 or so years. Chief :)
