    What to buy?

    New to owning a outboard I have a dilemma. I have a 15' Galaxy Trihull and am trying to find a 40-70HP motor. The boat is rated for up to 70HP. I have looked at 1963 Evinrude 75, 1977 Stinger 75 and a few others. It seems when I have spoken with any local marina they say don't waste your...
