Darn it’s hard to believe it was 15 years old in January. I have had no serious problems with the boat, trailer or Mercury 200 EFI.
The worst issue was when the boat was 10 months old and some SCUM stole the Motor Guide Great White 82 ft lb trolling motor. It was taken right off a dealers lot with barbed wire on top of chain link fence.
Anyway in the last two years I began updating the electronics and trolling motor and a Ultrex
I have a 98 700LX with a Merc 125 EFI that is still running smoothly. Bought it 3 years ago and it was well taken care of before I got it and still is now that it's mine. If you take care of the boat it will definitely last.

Not bad for 15 years old. GPS top end speed was 68.4 mph as I recall. I don’t go that fast anymore. 4000 RPMs is my target!

I have a 2008 898 love the no carpet deck just repowered a year ago with the v8 4s . Boat is still in great shape .
Nice one of my favorite layouts.
