I say this because I have learned as you upgrade everything that goes with it, while it still works well, tends to be less then desired and you end up upgrading it all anyway one piece at a time at then what to do with what you pull off.

something to think about

Motor is 2004 but with a year old 60hp build on it. Love the motor. Trailer is a home built aluminum trailer with year old galvanized axle.

The best 2 stroke 40 ever built, that old merc 59 cubic incher. Of course it is the most cubic inches in a 40 ever built also. The last ones produced were 2005, so a 2004 ain't too bad. You'll get another 15-20 years out of it unless you roast it on a tunnel boat

I don't run it hard at all. 3/4 throttle for a trip and will open it up for a 50-100yd blow out now and again. Most of the time I save the WOT to mess with people that think they're gonna blow by me. The look on their face is priceless.

True sleepers, especially with the stock stickers still on.
