[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 149392, member: 3278"] Have been in the marine engine industry for over 34 years now. No longer working for a manufacturer and now working a few days a week at a local dealer. The dealer is full line BRP (the old OMC Johnson/Evinrude) and package dealer with Yamaha. They (we) are the factory recommended dealer in the area of Florida for both brands. I see no more issues with Johnson/Evinrude post 2000 engines than the other brand. Have they had issues? Yes, but updates have been performed and those customers are now enjoying the same good reliability they expect to have. All engines have gremlins from time to time! If the engine you are purchasing is a computerized engine a certified dealer can pull a history from that engine that will include any updates plus things like previous overheats, over-revving, and so on. Do your due dilligence and make your decision! Better than listening to a fellow you ask that may come back and tell you that "Billy Bob's buddy done had one once and it was a piece of junk" BTW - the 115hp series of engine was and is a darned good one. Issues were mainly with the V6 series. [/QUOTE]
