Pretty Cocky thinking you can handle a Canoe after just a few years of experience hotrodding that Flatdeck.
Thinking a year with a standup paddle board and than maybe after that attend a Advanced Canoe Handeling course .
The insurance is still going to kill you with your minimal experience.
Should probably look at getting into SAILING.
P.s.
With proper care I think the CMI headers that come on a Merc 525 should last a good 20 years.

Can't believe I left out yanmar! I agree on the yanmar vs Cummins, or even Man. You think merc rebuilds are expensive?? Price a man 1000 hour service lol
The Detroits it seems like they had a hard enough time keeping them alive in busses and coaches. So they cranked them up and jammed them in big sport fishers lol. I have a customer with a pair of 550 hp 6-92's. When I called for a set of injectors the parts guy said "trying to melt that down before the weekend??" 2200 hours and the boat has had 4 major overhauls (by others not me)
