If it makes you feel any better my starters were original equipment from 2001. Boat is still in our club and still has the same starter motors so they are going on 19 years. I'd hate to change one because they look like they weight about 200 pounds.

I moved into a 52 Sovran/5000 express. Great boat with a ton of room and a phenomenal ride in a heavy seaway. I love the boat, my wife even more, however I do miss my 43 Open from time to time. IMO Tiara really got the Opens right, especially the 41, 42 and 43.
