I think it was the '02 or '03 show that Merc Racing was offering the first rebuild for free if you bought them.

Covert Operation... like you Craig
I am going to discuss it with JC and Z next week. I have zero experience with the 900. It is a 2000 model (I think) or a 2001. I am getting more info next week on the boat. 100 hours would be the limit for me. I was hoping to tone them down and get closer to 200 hours. If the 100 hours was just springs/lifters etc I might be able to live with that. I just dont want to buy a 100 hour bombshell....
