Another consideration is winterizing and maintenance. :) A lot of people around our lake can use their outboards later into the boating season as there are less issues with freezing versus inboards. In the end as Sean said, they're both good each has it's pros and cons, so you just have to...

Cool find Sean. Hopefully spring will come early and you'll have everything ready to go by then! :) -Chris

It looks really nice, good luck selling it. :) -Chris

Sounds nice. :) Is this your boat Sean? -Chris

Hey, you're welcome and Happy Birthday 204! I hope you have a great Birthday! :cheers: -Chris

I'm sure Merc just has one of the companies rebranding it for them. At least if Merc approves a product though, it does instill a certain amount of confidence in the quality of it. :) -Chris

I usually look at the bottles and see how much they spec. Some small bottles require very little and some big bottles that seem cheaper spec that you use more. Typically over the last few years I've bought the STP one and haven't had any issues. I usually do a double dose. :) -Chris

They're predicting it will be warmer than normal. Let's see what they're predicting at the end of the week though. ;) They have a bit of a habit of changing things the day before. :D -Chris

We usually put the small boat away in early November. The weather can be pretty hit and miss this time of year, it can be fairly nice and warm or snowing, sometimes all in the same day! LOL! Hopefully it'll stay nice like it has been this week. :) -Chris

Welcome aboard. :) I know on my boat, the stereo will drain the battery after a week or two as it draws power for the clock etc. I put a disconnect switch on mine so that doesn't happen. -Chris

I was talking to a collegue yesterday in Edmonton and they said they got A LOT of snow. Yikes! :yell: -Chris

Yeah, yesterday was one of the nicest days of the summer. Funny dat, fall arrives and finally so did summer! :D -Chris

I enjoyed my Grew for many years. It's too bad they're gone now. But many great brands have unfortunately disappeared over the past ten years or so. :( -Chris

Maybe you can pick up a cheap one as a toy. A nice Playmate might be easy to justify and explain....as in a Checkmate Playmate. :D -Chris

It looks great John. :thumb: Are you missing your Checkies yet? -Chris
