[QUOTE="BloodStone, post: 74108, member: 826"] [b]Besides the obvious fact of "newer" & or possible difficulties in finding certain parts, are there any real advantages (besides price) to owning an older outboard motor (I.e. late 50's to mid 70's)? I had someone tell me (I think it was BassBoy :?: ) that horsepower on an OB was measured differently back "in the day" than it is now. And that actually, an old 15 horsepower Evinrude OB (with everything being equal-compression, tuned up etc..) may actually be closer to 18 hp. Thoughts....[/b] [/QUOTE]
