You can still buy two stroke outboards, the evinrude ETEC.
Any other two stroke outboard you can keep, they were all pieces of crap. The newer 4 strokes are 100X more reliable.
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of nostalgia there is for junk.
If this is true, then how come so many 50s and 60s 2 stroke motors are still going strong and motors from later years ended up in the scrap heaps? See how many 35hp motors from the 50s are still around compared to the 80s and 90s of similar HP. I have a Honda 50, but I doubt it will be going in 40 or 50 years. At a point on newer motors, it costs more to fix them than they're worth. I have several 2 strokes that are older than me and will be going when I'm gone. Simple is better to me. I can rebuild any of them in my garage with the tools I have.
