I had one of that vintage and the oil pump did go out (in the middle of the Spillway), burning up the powerhead. So maybe mixing the oil & gas is a decent option.
I now have a 2010-2011 Optimax 4-stroke (250 h.p. Pro XS) that has never given me a minute's trouble (other than one false alarm telling me the reservoir was low on oil).
Talk to David Wade at David Wade Marine - he has a shop in south BR and posts here sometimes. He will give you the straight scoop on this motor's overall reputation.
