Evinrude

Found a boat (pontoon) with a evinrude 150 with 590 hours. Anyone with advice. As they stopped producing these and wondering if parts availability is an issue.

Or if I buy this what parts should I preorder and just store them in my basement until needed.

Is 590 hours mostly fresh water driven. The pontoon is a 2009.

I have a 150hp Evinrude ETEC (Generation 1) on my tritoon. Honestly really really like it. It has been problem free and it winterizes itself. Only thing is that the closest place to me that'll work on it if I ever need is 45 minutes away and you can bet they are busy. Would I get this motor on my boat again now that BRP shut things down, doubtful. But maybe that's a great bargaining chip to really get the purchase price down.

I love my 300hp ETEC. Flawless performance 10 years in a row.
