Only 60 days or so for us.... I'm in the processing of purchasing a new boat to replace the one that I bought this time last year.... the new one is a mint 1997 Cobalt 232 with a 502 MAG, brand new extended swim platform, new sound system, new upholstery and only 250 gently used hours.

EDIT: Wow!!! I just contacted Mercury via the website Contact Us form and they called me back within 10 minutes... They verified the serial number and it's maintenance history. That 502 is an 8.2L with 415 HP mated with Bravo I drive. Both the engine and drive are flawless. That's a bigger power package than my 2008 280DA had...

Thank you...that's for sure about not being able to open it up. I always open it up once I clear the Narrows all the way to Goose Island. Haven't been stopped yet but I've only topped out around 46-47 on my other boats....and that's on a dead calm day during the week.
