My buddy has a mid 90's 150hp that he's been running for years. The thing is a top and hauls ass to boot. It's painted up like a CAT and tops out at 62 on his 18' crestliner. I think he's done new plugs and maybe a water pump but that's it. I don't think he even winterizes it, just parks it and hasn't had any issues. I would seriously consider one if i was in the market, 2 stroke only too if you ever want to get out of the hole.
