    What should we be buying

    Okay all the OMC guru's. What OEM parts should we be buying to have on hand now that we may not be able to get them in the future.
    I am big on the OEM. 1996 Fast strike 150 Model on my signature. Thanks in advance.
    1996 Stratos 201 pro xl
    1996 Johnson Faststrike J150GLEDB

    i truly believe there are enough parts to supply us for a long time to come. it doesn't hurt to have spare parts on hand, just don't start a toilet paper effect like the virus did ! lol

    Would you be hesitant to buy an older Evinrude? I know a guy likely to sell a boat with an 07Etec 200. I like the boat but obviously this news has me wondering about it now. Parts wise.
