Well, I spoke too soon. The buyer backed out on account that the Merc suggested top end rebuilds at around 200-250 hours were completed by a previous deep-pocket owner. Instead of a lengthy top end valve job by a machine shop, the owner elected to replace with Dart aftermarket alum heads vs. rebuilding the severely overpriced OEM Merc spec Edelbrock heads. I understand his concern, but any 13 year old piece of equipment likely has been opened during its lifetime.

All other inspections were completed and boat passed with a clean bill of health!

Oh well......Worst case, I still have a sweet 343 ready to go for the season!

Yes the Dart heads are purpose built just for that engine ( not automotive) . Edelbrock makes the heads for mercury but only with a mercury part number so there $$ of course. There Aluminum as well.
Shouldn’t have been a deal killer. I think the buyer was looking for a reason to step out of the deal. The Marine Dart heads are special so get the information on them so the next buyer can see the advantages!
