[QUOTE="nguye569, post: 388079, member: 18722"] I'm currently look at 14 footers with a 10-15 hp motor. I guess that's what I really want to know is how reliable are the older motors (if taken care of) as compared to something from the early 2000's? I can do basic mechanical work on cars (never an outboard), but suck at making things look nice. Hence if I buy an older boat that has some nice mods already, I don't need to worry about building a deck that looks like crap. I just don't want to be in a situation where I have an older motor and it'll be hard to do basic repairs or maintenance. [/QUOTE]
