I would keep the Evinrude, you have already invested in most needed service repairs.  Many shops, though well meaning, are not very familiar with these older outboards, so may not have set it up correctly.  Did you replace the propeller lately, perhaps you have the wrong pitch prop…  I really don’t think the four stroke will out perform the original Evinrude.
