come on, no one out there own's a pair of 850's and can talk about their experience??? i hear this yr merc is guaranteeing racers who bought a new set to start the 07 season will make it through the whole season with no additional costs to the racers. Merc picks up any repairs for no charge. Thats saying something i would think
yeap about 15 to 20 hours, I have had good luck na 650hp since 2000. going to check cam wear this winter maybe change springs ran it for 7 yrs before doing the bottom over 2000. don't care for merc stuff over priced you can get a jc perforamce 800 or 850 598 that will out last a merc I bet or dee tyler crocket on his efi motors. artie if in mass theres coughlin motors in norwood or jim reid in whitman mass .:D

100 hours @ $25k. wow
