The M+ is a 23p but it looks like the cupping was machined off. Low and mid are really doggy with the M+ and I don't spent a lot of time at WOT so top speed isn't a huge concern. Looking...

I have a 2003 260 with 496 375hp. Currently running a 23p labbed mirage+. GPS says 59 at 4800ish rpms. Hole shot and mid-range could use some improvements. Thoughts on a 21p Rev4?

How often should the coolant be replaced and is there a procedure to do this? I've done this on a car more times than I can count but is probably totally different on a boat.

How'd you know he's looking for another boat? I've been seeing more and more 260s pop up for sale around MI, IN, and IL for less so I'm trying not to rush into a purchase.

Yea that is good advice. I've passed on a few already - it is pretty easy to tell if someone has taken care of a boat or not. It is a 2002 260 Legend with 300 hours. I'm not sure if it is a 496 or...

Right I understand but why not just use the lake water and simplify the system? What is the added benefit of having coolant? Does this engine still have the impeller issues that other PQs have?
