What one didn't you sell? And is it true that 52 is for a 19 year old? Wow

Just telling u what I heard. So if someone lives in south Florida and has any of those 3 motors, they can't go to some that is Merc certified to have them refreshed or warranty work, they have to be shipped to mercury?

By the way congrats on all the sales!! U do a great job and seems without u we wouldn't see half of the bad azz rides skater puts out!

Thanks. Warranty work yes but not factory refresh on those motors. The factory refresh on 1100 and 1350 Merc turbos is a long block exchange, no rebuilds.

DR-learn me something.....when you say the middle motor will "break all the time" can you explain please. I'm not familiar with the outboards boats but always wanting to learn about all boats/setups. thanks!

The center or 3rd engine is free hanging in the tunnel for each and every wave to attempt to pry off the boat. Not a bad thing in FLAT water but in the rough water the center engine takes a real beating as so much more of the engine is exposed to the water in comparison to one hanging on the transom.

Another issue, which addresses the lower units is that unlike the sponson water the tunnel water has nothing breaking the edge off the water and thus the center engine sees every dip in the water as it does not see a steady flow of good water so the load is constantly interrupted and thus the gears take a beating.
