15 400R news
I just heard from a reliable source today that Mercury will be releasing a 15" version of the new 400R in the Fall. It is estimated to be 66 pounds lighter than the 20" version - which would put it at 612 pounds. Still too heavy for boats 20' and under imo, but it would be badass on an Argo or Twister! Also would work well as twins on 30' - 34' cats.

A 15" mid 400R is very cool! Only problem is how many current boats could run a 15" mid (per the transom depth) and still handle that kind of weight? I'm guessing that boat builders will build new models around this platform, though. Is the new 318 Skater model running 15" or 20" mids?

Would have to be a wide shallow transom. Bet a 21 skater would like this motor. Can you put a 15 on a 22 Progression or a 21ft Tuff?

Unless you run a ton of setback or have Kevin cut down the transom, the standard shaft length on a Progression 22 is actually 25". My P22 has a Bob's Machine Shop 8" setback jack plate and it came with a 25" mid from the factory.

There stuck with each other . Both will have stuff for sale that the average guy cannot or will not really want or be able to afford .
But like they say in the car market .. there's an azz for every seat .. Guys who want what others cant afford is the only thing they will "settle" for ....
