Ok so i am picking up my new x18 xpress with a 175 sho on it. so the first thing i do is get on BBC to see what people think. my last motor was a f100 and it was pretty good one. so i get in here and i am getting a little nervous. seems like there are some issues with making oil, and various other stuff. i do understand that all out boards have there issues at some time, and that most people are getting on here to resolve issues. so i am sure that there has to be a lot of people that love these motors as much as there are people who have problems.
