I have a 76 sf 23 seacraft with a 2001 225hp ficht with around 400 hrs. Great engine no problems. Also have a friend with a 2002 250hp ficht on 23 seacraft with 300+ hrs. He hasn't had any problems either. You shouldn't be afraid of the new rudes. But it doesn't matter what manufacturer you get, you still need to have to trust in the product and a good mechanic. Undoubtedly things will break and if you don't have the service backing then your belief will be the engine is an inferior product.
