Mercury 520, 540, 565 or....?
My old 496HO is at 550 hours and I have giving me a lot of trouble free boating, only a few sensor failures which was both easy and cheap to fix. However it’s time to move on to the next motor and I want to take a step up in power, still reliable, and wish for some input from the board which engine will give me most bang for the buck.
I have also been thinking about letting someone build me an LS-based all aluminum engine in the same power range but have got advice both for and against. Crazy or not?
Any good input is appreciated!
