good looking ride. One day we need to make a trip

I'll admit it's a good looking boat, with the exception of that black anchor hanging off the back!! LOL

I ran a black 200 HP motor for 14 years with only 3 minor issues.
Would still be if it wasn't for Hurricane Rita.

I know a guy that had one of those black motors and he abused it, only problem he had was lower unit from ABUSING it!!

I was told that the lower units on the big Merc's wouldn't last long.
Mine lasted the life of the motor. No issues with it.
I had trouble with the trigger ring, a power pack and the oil injector pump.
Not bad for 14 years.
I mostly fished offshore, backed off the trailer and put in forward gear and
stayed that way for hours. Not much shifting. Mostly high speed, or trolling.

The first time I was in that boat he wanted to explore, we got in some of the lakes and kinda got stuck. He just nailed it and would let the oyster shell fly!!!!!!!

what were you smokin when you mounted the anchor light on the cowling?

First ding only hurts a little while but memeries are foreever.........

Congrats on the nice looking boat "W", hope she treats you well.

Congrats W..thats a nice boat bro!
