Hi!
Nice looking boat, I like the shape of the deck. What is the weight of that boat?
The short shaft Mercury 60 is a good engine, I have one on my F4 boat. You get good props for it from Dewald, Mercury, Ron Hill, And LAK-propellers in Estonia. Otherwise same props as on Yamaha CES, older Mercs, Short shaft johnsons/Evinruder suits the engine.
It has the "same" gearcase as the most 40-75 hp short shaft engines, in Yamaha terms, the G-shaft.
I think the midsection on the short 60 is the same as on the short 40hp, with the 60 hp(obviously) power unit and gearcase.
the "no Warranty" thing has to do with the fact that it is sold by mercury racing in first hand as an racing outboard and thereby it doesn't have warranty.
I have driven with my now about 1000 hours and it's still as new, even if i have had it for racing. correct me if I'm wrong.
I think it would be a good alternative to the old 2-strokes, not that much heavier, and quite mintenance-free. AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY
