Hello,<br /><br />Any advice you may have on the Evinrude E150FCXSSV would be appreciated. I have an opportunity to buy one brand new for relatively cheap ($4500) and would like to know more about the history; i'm aware of the major problems with this engine in 97'/98', but did they work out the Ficht problems by 2000? Are there major upgrades which are covered/not covered by the warranty?<br /><br />Thanks in advance!<br /><br />
