Depending on the boat and how you use the boat I would seriously consider a new "old school" 2 stroke. You can't beat the weight to power ratio and the price should be well below any of the newer technologies. Mercury and Yamaha are both still making their reliable 2-strokes.

100 views and no opinions for my Evinrude...

I've got the salt water, long shaft model of the omc 150 in this article:

If something were to happen to my 1998 Evinrude, would this be an option or would you change the motor out altogether?
Possible Trade - Would you do it?

I am just starting to email this gentleman so details are somewhat sketchy. (BTW, I posted this on another forum and I've gottem plenty of views but not too many comments. Hopefully, I get better response here.
)
He wants to trade to something smaller and I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting something larger.
What I’ve got:
1995 Edgewater 180 CC
1998 Evinrude Ocean Pro 150 – Carbureted (Hours are probably in the neighborhood of 250)
2002 EZ Loader Aluminum Trailer
New BRP Cyclone SS 4-Blade Prop
Smart Tabs
Racor Filter
New Fuel Lines
Trailer Tires 18 months old [50 miles on them]
Newer Gauges
Navman Fishfinder
Magellan Hand Held GPS with RAM mount
Backup Aluminum Prop
What he’s offering:
1988 Hydra-Sport Vector CC2000
1990 Yamaha 225 (625 Hours)
T-Top
Bennett Trim Tabs
Hydraulic Steering
GPS
Fishfinder
VHF Radio
CD Player
Leaning Post
SS Prop
Backup Prop
Tandem Aluminum Trailer
He says the Vector is valued between $8,000 and $9,000.
My boat is in very good condition. I would grade my rig as a strong B+ or a A-. I haven’t seen his setup yet, but assuming it is in equal condition, would you make the trade? Would you expect to give or get cash in the exchange?
Also, if you have any information on the Vector CC2000 or 1990 Yamaha 225 I would appreciate it.
