Do you have any information on it?  Is it going into production?  Why a 4 stroke vs. a 2 stroke.

Sorry, sometimes I take back what I originally write, for various reasons-

           changed the subject of the thread
           might have hurt someone's feelings or was sarcastic
           was on my own ego trip

Gregg, you have good taste. Can you borrow from your railroad retirement fund for emergency reasons?

Some more poop on the Mercs: They're based on the 350 Verado block. Supercharged, meaning blower. But detuned to 300hp.(?) Weigh a staggering 660 lbs!

That't be like hangin another boat off'n the back of mine ...?

These prototypes were sent to Italy(??) for testing. (What ... our water ain't good enough?)

I hear that! Once bought Heather four new tires and shocks, and a toilet seat for Christmas.

Judging by her behavior afterward she did not appreciate these gifts ...   I still don't understand? She needed all 3?

Mercury Racing did not even consider secret test Lake WBL and Don's Lake X. Guess we'll have to secretly test snowmobiles in the off season. Kip can help us.
