I just have to pipe in here.  I'm not saying that the original poster 
should - or shouldn't - replace an inboard with an outboard; but, since 
my 1960 Evinrude Fisherman outboard is still going strong and starting 
on the first pull, I have to disagree that "no outboard will match that 
[35 year] life expectancy."
