I'm in the market for a used boat - 2019 to 2023 (maybe)
Both boat models (tracker targa 18/19v and ranger vx1788/1888) mostly seem to come with Mercury 150hp engines. I'm targeting engines with less than 200 hours on them.
I'm reading that some are having trouble with the powerheads "blowing". A costly fix!
Should I be concerned with this engine?
If so, should I consider searching for a 175hp Merc instead? I read that the powerheads are different. (re: v6 engine)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
