Thanks for getting back to me. It seems like a nice outboard. They have an
extended warranty (making it for 6 years, total) until the end of March.
I've been thinking about getting one before the deadline.

Does anyone have the current model Mercury 40 EFI and how do you like it?
Anything good? Any problems? I'm thinking about the gas assist trim model.
Thanks.

I have a 60, same engine (block etc) with bigger throats on the
intake. Not sure about the gas assisted tilt. That may be a little
much to manually tilt but I suppose it works. These things are
sneaking up on 300 pounds wet.
I have about 1600 hours on a 2002 and it is still running great. The
only problem I had was a leaking gasket on the water tube and it was a
known problem with the Big Foot but I think that problem has been
fixed in the manufacturing process by now. Other than that I just
follow the maintenance schedule and it hums along.
