I’ve had mutable Caddys and have run all over 150,000 mi with no problem wish I could say that about the outboards I’ve owned. I now have a Deville with a Northstar and a Esclade with a hos of an engine both make big horses and get good milage MIght be worth the price to go with the 557, would like 2 on my Bertram!!
I’d like to put one of them on my 16 ft jon boat and try it out in the cement pond
We had a 42 intrepid pull up next to us in Bimini last week to fuel up with a pair of Sevens on the back. The owner didn’t speak much english but knew enough to tell us the boat would do 70+ and that they were expensive. I tried my best to act nonchalant about the whole thing but that was one sweet effing ride.
