New owner - any startup advice?

[Skools Out]

Hey MJ,
I agree with you on the I/O's Suck. I've got both in the yard and love my outboard boats 10 times over my I/O's. My I/O isn't an old one either. It's a 1986 250 Sea Ray Fishing Cruiser and it has had a heart transplant in 1994 with a new 310 HP 350 GM. But still would take my older 1978 V20 out over it anyday or my old 1978 Continental 21. V20 it the best ride and Outboards in my opinion are best route.
