Thanks Denny your help is very much appreciated as well as all the other members who joined in my tedious topic.Thanks to all of you.
I'm pretty mechanically inclined and have always done my own work on just about everything.
However as I get older my desire to do bullwork is lessening,and I find myself not wanting to attempt to do do something I'm not familiar with.
Of course I say that,but I just got a quote from a carpenter to do a little work on a tiny back porch on my home,and found his quote of 4,000 to be way over what it should be.
I started thinking,"Hell,I could do that myself for 1500 bucks,and use the rest to put towards a newer outboard"
Now I'm falling right back into that trap again of doing stuff I wanted to stop doing.I guess I'll never learn,so Forget all that stuff I just wrote.
I started thinking that a 72 motor is too old to put a lot of faith in so I'm dropping that idea
.I think I'll keep looking for something around 1995 to 2000.
Any models to stay away from or models that are good,please let me know what you think.I don't know a whole lot about outboards when it comes to which is good or bad.
I'd ask on the Hull truth,but I'm not a fan of that site,I find it to be full of know it all's and everything ends up in a shouting match and beat up of whatever product or manufacturer it is that's being discussed.
BTW any idea of what the 150hp(about 1984-1986) on the back of this Seafari is worth for parts.??
