Just wondering why u say this about the motor? The older mercury 2.4 and 2.5 liter outboards were some of the best motors mercury ever produced. The blocks have been modified and built to turn over 10000 rpms and horse power over 300. Yea it is a older motor and it may cost a little to replace old gas lines and recondition it but it could be a very dependable motor if up dated. It could have way worse power. I would run it till she dies if it don't give you many problems. I'm using a 2.5 on my 20' Seacraft project (newer efi model). A newer 4 stroke would be nice but you can fill that tank many times for what it cost to replace the motor.
