So, a while back I bought a terribly neglected sea ray 175 thinking I could "freshen it up " and it would be ok for my first bow rider,
how ever after a lot of maintenance and problem after problems ending with a blown head gasket. I sold it for less then I paid for it just to get rid of it. I now own a small skiff for fishing the ponds and lakes by me. HOWEVER My wife hates it, my kids hate it. And they miss cruising.
My my old boat was so neglected with no maintenance, and kept un covered for so long That it finally caught up to me. With endless problems.
i vowed never to buy another stern drive And was looking for one of the smaller outboard bowriders. But the family wants a full swim platform. And we all know that if you wife likes it, I can take the boat out more.
so on a new boat, or very low hours (less than 100) Being anal with preventive maintenance like I am, AANNDD not keeping it in salt water. How reliable are the 3.0 alpha packages.
And what about the newer MPI versions Since I noticed there not carbed anymore.
