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 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!!!!!!!
