Mercury 400 HP Outboard!
« on: February 12, 2015, 09:24:52 AM »
It's rumored that Mercury will be launching a 400 HP outboard sometime this year!

Rumor has it that they will be unveiling it in Miami anytime now.

Will it ever make its way onto a bass boat? Time will tell  (hmm)

Someone will try it..trust me. I have an 18 ft stratos in my shop right now putting lights in it. The owners says a 250 SHO is going on it after he gets it back from me.

Oh, I have no doubts at all that someone will try it  (giggle)

And that 18 foot boat with a 250 on it should fly!!

Seriously. A boat like that is probably rated for a 200, at the very most. I can't see trying to run a 250 on it  (fp)

I'd put money on someone out there already planning a Bullet/Stroker/Ally build with one of them hanging off the back.     Maybe old Red Ally will be the first.  (giggle)
