Hey, I'm looking at buying a boat with a 1996 Mariner 25 hp on it. I've owned numerous < 10hp Mercury, Evinrude, and Johnson outboards in the past but nothing outside of that set of brands.

My understanding is that Mariner is sort of the "budget line" of Mercury products. Is the quality drop big enough to cause concern? Searching around, I see some encouraging comments but I didn't find a ton of feedback on this motor so I figured I'd still ask.

Thanks,
Scott
