    2014 Pro XS 150...question

    Have there been any constant issues I need to be aware of before I dive into buying one? Im getting a 3 year platinum warranty + a 2 year gold warranty but wanted to make sure there hasn't been anything crazy going on with them before I go and buy this boat.

    I'm sure someone else can answer this better, but you won't find many threads on here about the late model 150 ProXS's.

    I run mine hard and not a single hiccup.

    Same as Dave's comment, my '14 150 ProXS has been a great performer. Once I broke her in, fuel economy has been outstanding. So far so good.

    Take care of it (annual regular maintenace), don't let little problems become big and it will serve you well! Realize that it is not your daddy's Mercury. They are complicated machines built for performance!

    Excellent engines. Many topics in the link below would apply:

    Also- keep in mind that the extra 2-years "Gold" coverage covers only MAJOR ASSEMBLIES. Should you wish (later) to upgrade, or extend this coverage... we would be happy to provide you a quote (with special BBC member pricing).

    What's it typically cost to upgrade for those 2 years?

    Must be verified and priced BY SERIAL NUMBER.

    Drop me an email (or PM) if you would like to inquire on pricing.
