Bigobass1 has got me thinking. He's got a 2003 BRP/Johnson DFI (johnson called them Ficht when they were in business) for sale on Ebay.

I'm wondering if it would be worth pulling my low hour like new 150 BRP Johnson carb off the old ladies tubing boat and installing a BRP upgraded Ficht new/old stock motor and selling the carb motor? I know over the course of several years I'd make the money back in fuel savings, but what about the later Ficht motors?
Thoughts on the reliability of the later DFI motors?
