At the Miami show last week the Mercury Racing guy said 180 hours, if needed on the 850 rebuild. He also said at 180 hours you should do the top end only (springs, valves, lifters and a vavle job) and drive it for another 150 hours or until the valves won't adjust properly.

Sounds alot better than the 125 hrs I was quoted buy Merc. I was looking for a 42/ 850 boat before the economy went south. I'll just stay with my 38/700

The fact that it is not a fountain makes it a better deal don't you think?

Just kidding. Where are the pics and/ or the link for us window shoppers?
