Ladie's like my pole
I actually have found it the complete opposite....the older mercs like prob low 90s generation were a lot more reliable then the new ones. mercury has always had the reputation of being performance engines and not reliable engines...which is why they are used in racing conditions because you can get power out of them. Everyone has their own opinion, Im just speaking from what I've experienced and heard over the past 12 years.Mercury's are great for reliability. Maybe the older ones are shit, but the new ones are very good, and I have not heard any horror stories or complaints about them.
That picture I posted is the next boat we're getting. I rock a Yamaha Vmax 250 HPDI on the flats boat, and it has yet to let us down...almost 700 hours on it, and it still runs like a ***** ape and puts my Lake and Bay to 74mph.
I love me some yamaha though...especially the new 400hp v8 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
