Title: Mercury 400 HP Outboard!
Post by: Curt 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)

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)
