Terry and Ken are right. That's the same reason I'm still running my 2003 EFI Merc. It's been very dependable and for the small amount of time I use the boat it makes no $$$$ sense to hang a new $20,000 engine on the back. Simple math, $20k divided by $5 gal for gas = 4000 gal. You can go a long way on 4000 gallons or until your engine dies. However if you use the boat A LOT and want to improve your fuel efficiency, you may want to trade while your trade value is still good.
