rebuilt or new

[tper]

Little confused -- people are saying rebuilt are as good as new?

Here it is -- can get a Envinrude for about 4k - 1999 rebuilt

or a Yamaha for about 7k new with a 6 yr warranty. These are 2 cyc

What do you guys think -- daughter in college son in a year -

Thanks for input

Also on my mind is the new gas - ethenol -- older motor more prone to damage?????

Thanks
