Got rid of the Titan.

Stick to the routine oil changes with Mercury brand oil and your engine will appreciate it.

Don't turn it off immediately after running it. Let it idle for about a minute then turn it off. Mine does the same thing if it's shutdown too soon.

You can use the boat in salt water, don't store the boat in salt water. That's where you would run into trouble. Flush the engine after each use and hose down the outdrive. Keep an eye on the zincs and you should be good to go.

Mine has a 4.3l. No problems towing the skiers.

Did your GF get upset about it or was it no surprise to her? Let's forget about the fact the person late was her "daughter". Let's focus on the fact that the person was a 22 year old "adult" capable of making their own decisions, was told earlier in the week, and was also reminded again 1 1/2...

I already voted. Drill baby drill!

The media is always stirring the pot. Gary needs to stir the media's pot.
