Well sold my '97 StarCraft with a Force 40hp and am looking at a 1998 Sea Pro 17' with a 75hp Merc Mariner. I was wondering what everyone thinks about the reliability of these outboards and if there are any key problems I should look for. The guy says it was well maintained with "an open checkbook." And only used in fresh water (don't they all) My checkbook won't be that fruitful, so trying to get the scoop in advance. I know there's some cross experience here.

Thanks,

Bill
