New vs slightly used Ilmor?
I'm outfitting a boat w/a 625-Ilmor and may have run across an oppurtunity to get one that has between 20-30 hours. It's being sold back through Ilmor and they will have gone through it and will put a 1yr warranty on it (so I'm told so far). Currently Ilmor is putting a 2yr warranty on their new motors.
I can pick up the slightly used one for $6K less... is that worth the difference in not knowing where it's been (although Ilmor is supposed to go through it) as well as having a 1yr instead of a 2yr warranty.
Thanks in advance!

Good information fellas... I'm also leaning to the 'new'... for all the same reasons. I'll see what they come back with and go from there. I just hate to spend that much on an engine package and not know what the first fella did during the break-in period and so forth.
My hours a year aren't too great, usually about 25-ish due to the length of season where I live. So having 20-30 hours on a motor is like loosing a year for me... not sure that sits too well w/me.
