On the MERC's there isn't really much technology change from the early 80's to late 90's. Some of the newer engines actually had less desireable parts for some uses. The early engines in some instances actually had better performing parts, sometimes the other way though. Just because it's newer don't make it better. My 98 200HP EVINRUDE has an 89 powerhead because the original 98 block rotted out in the liners. It's a crap shoot with any engine, unfortunately you can't predict if or when they will go.
