HAPPY WIFE - HAPPY LIFE

Why can't you still go with the headers that are on it?

very long story short,,,,,,at anytime they can crack and dump water into the cylinder. hence the reason for purchasing the hardin hurricane lite replacements. i don't want to take the risk.
 
WOW! That is one sweet looking boat! Love the colors. That thing looks brand new! Be sure to post some pics when you get her in the water. Enjoy!

:drool:
 
And as they say...When the wife is Happy you are happy!!! Not to mention you know that she is happy when she paints her toe nails to match the color of the air cleaner cover on your boat engine. :D

You got that right! Funny thing is she has been crazy about blue forever. This is how I sold her on our last boat ('87 diplomat) it was a beautiful blue with metal flake. This one however she actually found and fell in love with it immediately. I looked at how many boats?? and she kept goin back to this one. I finally gave in and pursued it. Poor me right? :D I am a lucky man indeed
 
Holy Cow, boy it seems I got some catchin up to do round here.

Sippy, damn fine lookin boat man. That thing is cool. Congratulations.

I still think it sux that Mercury hasn't out and out fixed the 525 header issues. But sounds like you got things goin your way. Congrats again, that is one super sweet ride.
 
Thanks fireguy!

Merc had plenty of chances to recall and resolve the issues but IMO they waited too long and acting now or even 5 years ago would have definitely put a huge dent in their bottom line. Many blue motors were lost due to these header issues
