Outdrives are great...unless you leave the boat in the water full time which I know you do. Then they are just a hassle. And outboard brackets and trim rams similarly corrode and attract growth...you wouldn't believe what I've seen in the Keys on some CCs . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can almost hang 3 Mercury 450Rs on the back of it for what 2 of those pigs weigh. That boat would be beautiful without those outboards hanging off the back, but if I kept it in salt water that’s what I would want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan02gt Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Mercury is innovating their asses off. The new 150 is rock solid. The new 300 V8 is bad $^&, and the 450R at under 700lbs is crazy. Meanwhile Yamaha releases the 425 and almost 1000lbs lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cyclops2 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 IF IF O B was as reliable as the inboard engines ? Then the weight difference is larger. A O B is complete package. The I / O is to weigh ALL the drive components Engine to prop. No contest because of the massive shafts & cooling and lower unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Yamaha 425’s aren’t built to be a racing engine. They are built to have a lot of torque and push big offshore fishing boats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OP has checked out and moved on to other forums to trash Volvo. I hope he gets a long block from one of the places mentioned and gets back on the water, but I doubt we will ever know.

drewm3i Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 @Maxrider Check this out, a new Yamaha outboard blew a rod through its block in a boating group I'm in. I bet they are all crap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
