An American company laying the wood...c’mon, isn’t it time to rally around Mercury? It’s miraculous to have a 3.4 block with 2 extra cylinders for less weight than the smaller displacement Zuke inline 4 200, even when using the 25” leg!

I’ve owned a 23SF with 900 lbs of twin Mercury 225’s. It was an Armstrong, not a hermco bracket, and it was manageable up to about 62. That 1000lbs of motors does more appropriately belong on a 27 SC (the new Mercury 225s). No Bones 27? Time will tell, as you know. WE, the boating public, are the REAL testers for new motors! Like the new Mercury 150’s strong reputation....That’s when the home run is announced. Play ball....
