I have a HP525 in a Magic Deck boat. 50 hrs and no problems other than a little black transom, but that is going away now. The only problem is that it can't pass a gas pump!
If you want a stock Merc package I think you would be happy with this motor.
It has great mid-rage acceleration and sounds real mean with the CMI headers.
