Ahh - don't forget to run it in properly!!!
The Verado owners site is pretty good but rather biased. Looks like you get all sorts of problems if you don't treat the engines with kid gloves!!! Apparently they just don't like being tilted up for storage - if you do don't start it for about 10 mins after tilting down to let all the oil settle!!!

But Patos you working at the Norweigan agents...Donīt you?
Jan-Erik, Knut or Henrik is your real name.
For me it sounds little odd to buy a boat like this as the first rib. Come on....you working with computers and would like to have little fun...

I noticed the Anchor fixed to the rear of the rib. Looks like a easy solution.
whats the pro's and cons of that system?

It'll swing around like crazy. The wind, tide or both will act upon the blunt end rather than the end of least resistance. If you're in a crowded anchorage, the stern anchored boat will be doing something totally different to the bow anchored boats which could result in a clonk if the spacings are tight.

Agreed. Good for the Scandinavian style of mooring though, the anchor out the back and line to shore.

Hi Patos
Looks fantastic with the 350 on it. Let us know some comparisons please, I might upgrade if the difference is big enough....
Thanks

@ Tony I give you a feedback.This time Mercury Racing special made the propeller for me.The propeller I had on the last one was not good.
@Humber the black color on the tubes is not good in warmer contries.They use other colors.see pics.

I doubt if your hole shot will be a whole lot different .. top end will be better but percentage wise not a big amount .. where you should see it is mid range thrust oh yeah !

I think you are right about that.The ting is that nobody seem to know .Mercury don't tell me how many horse power it has.I have read that it has 370.The RPM on the 350SCI is scary
