I had what might have been a head gasket issue on one of my 600's early on. (The engine was rebuilt under warranty, and I was not supplied any details.) Since then, I put another 400 hours on the engines with no issues. I had the heads pulled for inspection/valve job and springs, and have run another 250 hours with no issues. Still haven't touched the lower ends. Innovation claims to have a set on the west coast with over 700 hours and counting. These engines are highly regarded by anyone who has owned them.

I believe I have around 300 or so on mine and other than a few clogged injectors, and 1 heat exchanger I have had 0 issues and they are untouched. I did a compression check over the summer for giggles and they are still very good at +/- 165 each.

My engines are at 664 hours. I repainted and converted them to serpentine belts while they were out for a re-rig. I also scored the only two top shrouds ever made while I was at Innovation this spring...

Lots of calls on it, but no one has pulled the trigger. It's a nice boat 100% freshwater and one owner with a trailer. It's got Bravo I 30 pitch (restamped 33) props on it, I'm told with some other props it runs mid 80's. Best I've seen is 72, will it hit 80's with different set of props?
