1989 to 2012 is 23 years, not quite 30(no more than 25 as that engine didn't come out until the first of 88). Yes they are old(88-91 vintage to be exact), but $1500 for a pair of them is pretty good. Come summer time the good one will fetch $3K simply because it is one of the most reliable outboards EVER built. They are gas hogs, but they can sure take a beating and go for thousands of hours. Sitting actaully does more damge to most outboards than useage. And they are known for sticking rings that take out a cylinder as I have Bradfords old engine here and that is exactly what happened to it.
