That little smoking engine is worth its weight in gold.

Same with 1990's 2 stroke snowmobiles. There is a cult following for them as they are kicking but power and speed wise over 4 stroke (unless they are turboed or super charged). And a used sled is 2K vs a new 12K sled.
Same with prices on outboards.
