    1998 115 Evinrude FICHT

    Hi There, I am considering purchasing a 1998 115 HP Evinrude FICHT motor. I have read a lot of negative reports on these, but am looking for some more advice. Sounds like most of the "problems" occurred soon after purchase. Would a 1998 that is still working very well be a safe bet? I have...
