I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I am toying with the Idea of getting an outboard (Stoker, Baker or something along those lines) and was wondering about the reliability of the engines out there. I've heard stories of outboards being very reliable with years of trouble-free use, then I've also heard about people dumping tons of money in to them because they keep blowing up. Is it an issue of abuse or lack of maintenance that is causing these to fail, certain brands more reliable than others or is it just luck of the draw? I am very familiar with flatty's, I/O's and tournament boats, but no experience with an O/B. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
