I imagine all that will come out but from the read they seem to be putting in some work so they have to be racking up a few would be my guess.

Wasn't mentioned. You'll have to ask the source. ie: the owner.

I guess engine builders are now responsible for boats that have ethanol fuel left in them for 9-15 months? I'm sure we all know what mercury's answer would be.

I saw the 46 Skater Gotcha Now switched back to Merc 1350 in the classifieds. Were the Goodwins pulled for a new boat build? (Honest ?, not stirring any pot)

The weakest link on that engine is the blower belt. That engine will shred them when it is turned up.

Pretty sure not every boat with goodwins had 15 month old ethanol fuel left in the tanks and everyone knows what Mercury would say
Hope they all run great with the new efi
