Agreed.......my Evinrude tech included that parts are going to become rare.....in addition to it being a faulty motor. 
 
 However.......after Bombardier took over around 02-03.....those 150's & 200's were good running engines, and are frequently sold for bargain prices.  I had an 03 or 04 200 hp and it was terrific....no issues.
