The new Mercury Outboards, details

[blacktruck]

Not sure if you guys saw this, details of the new outboards announced in Miami, pricing, next models and something new from Mercury Racing potentially.

I like the 3.4, looks kind of weird at first but growing on me. The 150 ProXS is a sweet engine. dynod at 163 HP.

Makes the Etec G2 look pretty.

Honda actually used that prototype design for the new 250, which looks great. It's just heavy but I love the aesthetic.

I kind of agree on the Merc, it looks too big and chunky, and plain. I really like the 150 and 150 ProXS four stroke look, too bad it didn't look more like that.

G2 has grown on me.

I always thought it was pretty good lookin'.

IMHO The G2 (and the new Mercs) look good on angular boats. Not so great on roundish hulls.

That's a fair statement. I used to hate the look of the verados...but they've grown on me too.
