Within a couple months I will be purchasing my first glass bass boat (used). I have talked to a couple guys who own newer rigs and have scoured the internet to try to get an idea on what I can afford and what issues to look for. My biggest concern is having to foot a large repair bill for a blown powerhead or other expensive outboard troubles.
I will probably end up with an outboard between 150 and 200 hp. Are there some makes and models that I should stay away from that have known issues? Are there any you recommend looking at?
If i have to shell out a large amount of money to repair something that I should have avoided in the first place, after already spending a pile of money on purchasing the boat, it may drive me right over the edge...
Thanks for any help.
