[QUOTE="Whoopbass, post: 175626, member: 2243"] Is that boat even rated for a 15hp? That seems like an awful lot of motor for that boat. Your probably looking at spending $1K-$1200+ for a nice clean motor from those years. That new of motor I would go with the Mercury. OMC was just about bankrupt in the early 2000's and their quality control wasn't the best. Mercury's were generally faster then JohnnyRudes but that might not be the case for those years you mentioned. I like the 80's to early 90's OMC motors better then anything else. They are mainly made of metal versus a lot of plastic parts plus parts are easy to get and are cheaper then the later years. They also run forever if taken care of. [/QUOTE]
