Does anyone know the recent history of the small Johnson/Evinrude two stroke motors? I would like to pick up a used one but I want the latest generation. Found a nice 15hp for sale locally, made in 2000 but did they make design improvements beyond that year?

I'd take a 1960's over the newer ones, so much easier to maintain.
I have a 1959 thats the cats meow, NAPA still sells parts.

I think I would be more concerned what motors have reliability or parts supply problems.
