Unhappy more on outboards

Well, I was visiting my relative last week who has a new 27' CC whaler w/twin verados. He had only taken it out once for a short run and loved it. The electronic throttles are really sweet (engines automatically sinc-up if they are within 500 rpm) and the torque is fantastic he said.

He took it for a real run the other day....alarms went off and eventually starboard engine died. He limped back to the dealer who is working on it now. I bet these didn't have more then 5 hours on these engines before breakdown. This is a brand new loaded boat costing serious coin. Like I said I don't care who makes em... outboards are not reliable and everything you read is how great these things are is all fabricated marketing ploys. My next boat will be a diesel no question.
