Mercury’s new outboard

[bgreene]

Hah ..... that leaves me out but all my boats and motors bought used except the 9.5 hp Evinrude my dad bought in 1974.....

V20/21 ....of course being a top choice all around low cost rig for people who know what to look for......except for the mild HP rating : )

77,000 dollars does it come with a prop? Not bad why stop there ask for 80.000' go big.

Let me understand this 77.000 plus a prop, another 800 plus installing it maybe 3000 plus tax plus controls so your talking about 90 grand when it's done? That can't be right who can afford that?

People that don't have to worry about the cost. Billionaires and drug runners. There has to be a market of they wouldn't have developed it in the first place.

Yep. It's not their money so why should they care.

Take a look at some of the videos of boats going in and out of Haulover Inlet in Florida (Google search for Haulover Inlet videos). Forty and fifty foot boats with four, five, and even six 450Hp motors mounted on them. There is some real money down there - those are the people who will buy them.
