Thanks for all of the valuable information. I will get a mechanic to look at it. The boat was in gear when it peaked at 3200. In neutral it would rev all the way to 4800.
I have actually been looking for an I/O for no other reason then I know how to work on them. The OB is a bit intimidation to me. That said I would love to be talked into one. I am sure I could handle the basics on an OB.
I will just get a book. "Outboards for Dummies". I am sure it exists. I have not made a final decision yet but I would really like to be on the water this summer.
