I wouldn't focus on the year as much on the condition-
Invest in a Mobil mechanic-
It can SAVE you money.

Just because its newer dosnt not mean its better. In fact newer means more expensive repairs and more complicated systems.

We bought a 2010 Merc 90 came off a bass boat, so far it is working out great, we know the boat shop just pulled it off another boat, doesn't know a thing about it, but is willing to at least get us a another one, if it doesn't work out and we only gave 3000. for it .
