I'm finishing a restoration of a 59 Lake n Sea and I'm getting to the point where I need to find a motor. I like the old fat fifties for aesthetics but they're not practical for a regular use outboard. I had 60s Evinrude 80 on a Larson I redid but got rid of it. That motor was great, easy to work on, looked good, but it was thirsty. I've read that the mid to late 70s v4s are a perfected edition, can anyone tell me what to expect? Are they any more fuel efficient? Practical for regular use with proper maintenance?
