Any words on 575SC's holding up?
 

I am concidering a new boat with a 575sc, It has been arround a while and I am curious about durability, initial problems, recalls horror stories ect.. Any info would be helpfull. They do start easy dont they? They are EFI I believe too.

I know a guy that has one in a 28 Profile cat. He has never mentioned any problems but I have never really asked. I know his boat hauls ass though. I will see him on Saturday so I will ask if he has any problems. I do know that it starts right up and sounds nasty! :D

I know a guy with a 2001 38 Sonic with those motors. He has not had any problems as of yet. Sounds and runs great. I am not sure how many hours he has on them yet.

I know of one that lunched the blower. The quarter sized chunks of aluminum took out the long block. The motor only had a few hours on it and was waranteed.

I have 103 hrs on mine and have had no problems. Just had my 100 hr service and the cylinder compression was between 135 and 140.:cool: :p

We've put on over 100 hours since last summer. Just a couple of repairs to speak of.... we had to replace a leaky gasket in the drive oil line twice and then we just had a blower unit rebuilt last week. Otherwise, the engines have run exceptionally well and are very dependable.
