I just got a look at a 8.2 Mercury Horizon. From the looks of it they have made some good improvements in serviceability. There is a 380 hp and a 430 hp version. This engine will come with a catalyst system that looks real easy to service. I wonder if it will hold up as well as the 8.1? That 8.1 I believe was the most reliable big block motor ever used in the marine industry. It is expected to run about $1500 more than the 8.1's.
