Pretty much what was expected, Baby Verados without Superchargers :)

These rugged new models are the eighth, ninth and 10th engines born of Mercury's Verado platform strategy. Though they don't share the Verado name, which is reserved for the supercharged members of the family, they do share a common engine architecture and have many common components, making these 1.7-liter stalwarts easily the most durable in their class. For instance, the connecting rods and internal bearings the new engines employ are exactly the same as the ones in every single Verado, and the engine block is virtually identical to the one used by the 135, 150 and 175 Verado. In short, with many components built to withstand the rigors of a supercharged environment, these naturally aspirated, inline four-cylinder power plants are structurally far stronger than they will ever need to be.


Would like to know the weights....

Would like to know the weights....I was just thinking that as was reading the description. I think you will have to poke pretty hard to find the weights at first....

This is probably their big news for the Miami boat show.:)
