My new Crestliner came in this week. I ordered a Maxxum but Crestliner told us about the new MK so I bit . I'm really impressed with the looks of the motor.
I can't wait to try it! I don't know much other than they have changed the mounting plate(smaller) and the bracket that holds the shaft is bright aluminum and looks to be a much better design with less moving parts(pins)

If your in the market, you may take a look. I hear it hits the shelves in September.
