I dont know if it is much of an upgrade. A '73 to '79. You say your 73 has been great for you. Why not keep it? The low hours are questionable. Was the motor rebuilt? 144 hrs in 26 years, works out to like six hours a year. Sitting and not running is also not good for motors. I think I would stick with the "great '73" until something a little newer comes along.
