I just blew up my 200 E-tec H.O. It has had a history of problems and the warranty expired in April. I don't have the money, but will put myself in debt because that is what bass fishing means to me. So with that being said, I am thinking of buying a Yamaha VMAX SHO. Buying a motor in its first year may not be a good idea, but these seem worth the risk. Any thoughts?
