Have a 2001 Evinrude 150 HP (FICHT) with 100 hours that sat unused for 5 years and recently had mechanic get it up and running fairly quickly without much trouble - and it runs fine at low RPM's.
However, I've been warned that once I put higher RPM's to it, there could be problems... as these engines have a questionable reputation.
Has anyone had any experience or thoughts in a situation like this...
What to expect and/or watch for?
Thanks....

This engine caused the downfall of Evinrude and if it wasn't for the BRP purchase you would have one of the last Evinrudes ever made. Most people who know these outboards would not take one even if it was given to them for free.
