Default 05 model 275 Verado's

I am about to pull the trigger and buy a used 31 contender with 275 Verado's. Does anyone know of any issues with this year motor that I should be aware of ? The motors have @ 250 hours on them. I was told about a corrosion problem with the 05 Verado's. I know that the 07's have been upgraded. Any info would be appreciated..

Sounds like a good set up, a guy on screamandfly.com has a 31' contender with two 250's 05 model. He might have some advice, lives in the key and fishs alot. He is in the engine for sale area of the forums

the only corrosion problem that is hidden - check the lower end for obvious stuff..is the dump fitting on the t-stat that is made of aluminum - some are corroded - the new onw is bronze and is 6 bucks...join us at veradoclub.com and ask the same question of 05 owner's on the mesage board...

then again there are things indigenous to the 05 contender rigging I'm not happy about - email me at veradoclub.com
