Agreed Don, naturally aspirated engines (diesel and gas) have proven longevity over their boosted induction counterparts without question. So far, I have 1700+ hours at sea on my naturally asperated 2006 250. That's not a lot of hours for a 4 stroke but its more than I've ever had on any other motor I've owned over the years. I will say though that the technology is improving and we may see reliable boosted outboards that can be trusted without being configured in twins or with a SeaTow captains membership.... I'm sure the Verado cops have been alerted by now to by blasphamy and will arive here any minute now to defend their brands honor.

The funny thing is that I have a friend with twin 275 gen 1s. He loves them but they sure have been problematic. One time while his boat was in the shop getting a new powerhead I told him I heard Merc was replacing all engine mounting hardware with wingnuts to reduce repetitive costs on future warranty work.... I thought he was going to physically throw me off the boat.
