Re: time to repower
I speak from first hand experience, I've had good luck w/ Mercury(just replaced a 22 yr old 150 v-6) and I just installed another Merc 150. My old 150 had the stator replaced and it's installed on another boat and back on the water. If you consider an ETEC or others you may want to consider talking to users who actually run one. RP would be good for Honda 4 stroke, MJ with Yamaha, Skools with Johnson/Evinrude. Don't overlook Suzuki either. If you are going with outboard as RP stated, I wouldn't go with anything smaller that a 150 hp. I feel comfortable knowing I can outrun a nasty storm when I need to.
Again, its personal buying preference.
