As previously mentioned I had a 2000. It was a great motor but with low hours. The only part that I am aware of as being "hard to get" is the SmartCraft style gauges, they are NLA from Merc for the older Opti's. It has been that way for a while now so all of the gauges sitting on dealers shelves have been scavenged up too.. Maybe those MMax guys opinions are based on experience, maybe they know something I don't, I am just a consumer.. dealers can be biased. LOL
