Buying a 2001 Johnson 6 hp- parts in future?

[RTschiemer]

I am considering buying a new 2001 Johnson 6 hp. Dealer says design has not been changed in last 6 years, and parts will be available.<br /><br />Information I have from other dealers is Bombardier is no longer going to produce a motor below 25 hp or higher.<br /><br />Will parts / repair likely be a problem on a 2001 6 hp in the future should I buy it?<br /><br />Is the same true for the Johnson 5, 4 or 3.3 hp engines, part availiability not a problem?<br /><br />Opinions welcomed. <br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Robert
