Default New Mercury 360 APX 430lbs ourboard

With the new Mercury Racing 360 APX coming in at 430lbs you could almost run this beast on a sc20 weight wise.


A pair on the 27 SC Race hull would be amazing. Shoot a single would be all it really needs. I don't know the cost but wheels are turning in my mind.

Hey Frizz, not sure but those transmissions are forward drive only?? Might make docking a bit tricky!!

Yup, forward gear only. Specs say "gearshift: NA"

Who needs reverse when you can go 70mph forward lol.


Funny thing is on my sceptre 20 I haven't had reverse in a year or two. The binnacle cable is out of adjustment on the shift lever and I have told myself "I need to fix that" for months now. So I know what its like to not have reverse. You get real good at docking slowly and knowing when to bump it in Neutral.
