I bought one in October 2004 when my 1996 225 hp Ocean Pro threw a rod. I needed a motor fast so I didn't miss the striper season. It was reasonably priced and I know a number of people who have them and they have a reputation as bullet proof. My only problem is that I have had to replace spark plugs a couple times but that may be my fault because I never took it back for the 10 hour service. So far I'm very happy and the boat does ride higher in back because it is not a heavy motor.
