OMC/Johnson/Evinrude made a good engine all the way up to the "Ficht" debacle. The issues with the first generation "Ficht" motors damaged the brand name beyond repair. The bigger 2 strokes like the 150, 175, and 200 are and were great motors. They are easy to work on, parts are easy to find, and they are reliable. Downside is they are a bit thirsty.
