Have friend with a set of 725's. Engines are awesome drives not so much. Indy drive broke (transmission) no parts available had to go back to factory took all summer.

Also, good luck finding props for the Indy drive.

We have a lot of hours on the set up and no failures. We can be pretty hard on the equipment, rough water ect... The props are the the same you would use on any Mercury NXT, #6, or #8.

I read a few years ago that they had spring problems with at least the early versions. What year are the motors? If they are fairly old, I'd do some due-diligence on this. I talked to them at the Miami Boat Show and at that time, 2010-ish, the spring issue had been resolved. However, I don't know if they replaced the springs in the motors that were already sold and had hours on them......probably the customers problem unless still under warranty.

If memory serves me that spring issue was the better part of a decade ago. Once it became apparent to Ilmor that they had received a bad batch of springs from their supplier they recalled the affected engines and replaced the springs for free. The issue was resolved a long long time ago.

And on that day it was back in the rev limiter again. That is the 725 motor. Good work on your pad bottom BTW.
