Never owned a Mercury

[fish4ever]

Thanks For all your input. The dealer promised to stand behind me on this decision of changing brands. So it looks like i'm going to own my first Mercury. I have some real good friends in Canada that are guides. They all run Verado's and have great success. One of them has almost 800 hours on it. I'm lucky if I do 25 a year. Think I should be just fine. Thanks again. The next post I do will be about how many and how far back at what speed.

sorry my typing is not the best, few misspelled words. You will be happy with the Verado. Heck all the brands are good, just your preference, again this engine is very quiet you will be amazed. Once you have it make sure the trim tabs that the dealer sets up are adjusted for your liking. My dealer tweaked mine and it added 6 mph. My boat will go 58mph by gps. I know speed is not everything but once in a while it is fun just be safe. We are planning on making the 15 hour drive out this next Friday for a week. Hopefully the weather is manageable . Good luck.
