We aren't talking about problems when new, we are talking 30 and 40 years down the line with today's junk gas. Lug these tuned exhaust motors and you will pay in melted pistons. Let them rev up easily and get over plane quickly and they will serve you well. (Of course, putting one on a 400 pound boat helps, too )
