It starts on the first crank and still runs very well. It is jet pump equipped for shallow river use. I could add that it's noisy and drinks a fair bit of fuel. But $5,000 buys a lot of boat gas. More to the point, it seems like it has less power than it used to. Boat planes fine with two men on board, but can be sluggish with three large men on board. Although the outboard runs fine now, I plan to retire in a couple years. Replacing the motor now is more affordable than it will be on my expected future retirement income.
Option A: Replace outboard now and enjoy benefits of more power and quieter performance now instead of later.
Option B: Set money aside in dedicated outboard replacement savings and run Evie until she dies.
Option C: ??
