Repower

I’m getting sick of listening to thunks, bumps, changes in noises during operation, and overall just dealing with my current motor.

(Im also drooling over an extra couple feet overall but that will be a different thread later in the off-season.)

What are the general thoughts around repowering a relatively old boat (‘00)? Worth rolling the dice on a good looking HO 4 stroke? Buy new? Avoid certain makes/models that are 10+ years old?

I’d really like to be able to appreciate the benefits of a 4 stroke at this point, and would like the opportunity to add a bit of power. Obviously I’m going to digest the feedback from this discussion for a while as I weigh it against upgrading the whole package (boat and motor) but figured I’d start with just power...

Thoughts?
