Very few of the U.S. market "Classic 200" were bought by dealers. As few as eight. Even the Bass Pro Shops did'nt want them, but a few went to those stores. They sat loose on the showroom floors for a couple years or so before they moved. They were a standard 200, but priced much higher, so they were slow to go out the door. That's what this guy told me anyway... https://mercurymarine-gsdesign1.netd...-Schoderer.jpg...so I could be mistaken...
