Good engine overall. There was some issues with block rot though if they aren't flushed religously after each use in the salt. Fuel burn numbers arepretty high though on that engine, expect burn numbers of around 13-17 GPH at 4000-4200. It is a STRONG 200 though coming out of the hole, and a smooth engine. A bit smokey at idle and likes the oil.
