3A parts are around. Gears are still being manufactured. Seals and bearings are nothing exotic. Props a bit more money, but still can sometimes be found reasonable.Bravo and 3A not even in the same league. MUCH stronger drive, and much stronger gimbal ring and what not. If you plan on running some big power, go for the 3A. As long as the engine is reliable, you'll be boating and not breaking.

Also, the cleaver props are better technology than the bravo props. The surface props are also way more efficient than the bravo props. Hydrodynamic drag on the ĶIIA is also less. You should consider looking into a SSM#V as well. The shorter x-dim makes it easier to install than the IIIA. To get the prop high, you'll need to mount the motor fairly high with the IIIA. But if the room is there, not much of a deal.
