Hey everyone, I'm considering buying a 28' boat with one of these motors. Motor has 72 hrs on it and it's a 04 year. I've always been a fan of Merc power because of the realiability but I found this opportunity so i'd like to get some input. Any info would be much appreciated

Nice motor and a nice package, but they are very finicky with water pressure and overheating. They do run strong when everything is dialed in well.

Know of a couple boats with them and they haven't had any issues. Both owners have been very happy with the power/performance. I'll bet they were done by KE and not Julie.

Great engines! Never had any problems other than fouling the plugs if I idle too long and we are talking very long. I would recomend them any day ! 250 hours between rebuilds but springs after 200 hours is what I have been told.
