Diamond in the rough

I'm with Frank, its a big marketing game. The prices are ridiculous. Also, you see PLENTY of older motors around still running after 20, 30, 40 years, so they must have done something right. I ran a 75 Johnson 70 hp hard for 5 years and never had any problems. I did regular maintenance of course, but hard telling how many hours it had on it when I got it. And still going stronger than ever when I sold it.
