it's a hard call , but i was in the same boat 18 years ago. i bought my 83 v-20 for $6500 in 1990 and the motor went south in 93. at that time a 150 mariner was $6350 and i couldn't stand the thought of sinking that much in that boat at the time. we went 1 summer of me patching the old one and looking for a rebuild deal and missed a lot of boating. my wife finally said either get rid of the boat or buy a new motor and quite whining. it was the best thing i ever did(besides marrying a water lover). if your trying to justify it ecomonically, get out of boating. as i type this i realize my "new" motor is 17 years old.
my dad always told me" if the only complaint you have about something is the price, you got a deal."
