What's the difference in models?

Powerhead came back from Diamond, looks like new out of the box (that's always a plus).
My first experience with Diamond so far, so good.
Finishing up the connections on everything this week, hope to have in the water this weekend, I let you know how it goes

That 280 does look new. Wish I had 2 new ones myself.

Goodluck getting on water this weekend.

Diamond doesnt have any drop ons Noli, and mercury quit making them available

I was able to take the skater to the water and start the engines and check idling and shifting before taking wife out on trial run

Thanks!!!

We put 10 hours on it last year and 2 hours this week so I'm off to a good start.
The new power head and the Diamond rebuilt one started right up and idled beautifully. The 2 others were good too.

One of the nicest paint schemes. I too was one of the ones that liked all white but this is nice and clean. Just PERFECT. Glad you enjoying it. Shootout?
