BottleRocket- similar situation - my 2000 OX 66 had 2200+ hours and still ran strong- liked oil and gas! No issues with install- my engine is not the electronic control version- which may be worth spending the extra $$ for it. Prop is Yamaha Reliance SRS 14 1/4 I believe- bought another for spare prop as part of deal. Very Happy with economy and performance. I had vread all the t=posts on this engine on THT etc. see "searosis" posts on THT. Regards, Rhumboobie
