motors

So I am running a 90hp mercury optimax on a 19ft aluminum boat. Truth be told I would like a bit larger motor but this was a great deal. I bought my main motor last year when my 90 force died, I called it the anchor (lol). That motor always had trouble starting and then I hit a sand bar in the Nehailem Bay and sucked sand into the impeller. I was hoping it would keep working but no luck. I found the new motor at a dealer for $6000 plus parts, then I added the mercury extended warranty and so I am good for 6 years. I just had my first repair and 3 $20 plugs(right). I love the fact that it starts like a car, turn key and boom (hahaha). It never leaves me hanging, even if it works at half power.
