OK I'm here. Since last fall I've spent about 5 months checking out the 2 strokers available. They all have problems. Evinrude in my opinion is the best two stroker on the market. If you go to
http://bbcboards.zeroforum.com/zeroforum?id=51 you can read about the different problems out there. Evinrude (BRP) stands behind their product. If you do blow your head they replace it all. LS what prop were you running. Our motor's heads are the same. I'm sure you'll be well taken care of by BRP. From all my reding they are the tops in customer satisfaction. Billy Mac ;D
