Im just curious as to how reliable and how many hours should you expect out of a new outboard such as the merc 300x before having to rebuild.. Sorry for the dumb question but it seems like the older merc 2.5s dont last very long.. A freind of mines has blown up twice in the last year.. Hes thinking of upgrading to the 300x.. Thanks I HAVE A 2003 300X FOR SALE. NEVER USED. 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THE 300X IS A VERY USER FRIENDLY MOTOR. NOT AS MUCH STRESS ON THE MOTOR AS THE 2.5.
