We have been using Armstrong brackets since 1987 and have never had a problem with one. You will use a 25" engine. As for non current engines it depends on the year of them. MerCruiser will give a warry. until the engine hits I believe its 5 years old. Once a dealer has it for more than 5 years then its sold as is. If they say no warry. then its a older then 5 current model years. There is a big difference between 5 years on these engines. Spend the little extra and go with a current model. Or one that is 1 or 2 years is ok also.
