    Mr. Mercury & Miss Molinari had a nice marriage while it lasted.

    ~~~~~

    Flight on water, the latest evolved motorized destiny.
    Speed surpassing the, former V-hull plows pedigree.
    Miss Molinari — you excited many of men’s nerves.
    Wooden lines proportional bent, to reveal aero curves.
    I met you in the early 70s, at Lake Como, thanks dad.
    At regattas, you were the envy flower atop the lily pad.
    I was young, watching older guys take you water dancing.
    Like Fred Astaire, my friends led you over waves prancing.
    You were loyal to man’s touch, and a welcomed playmate.
    Later many, Astaire-pilots wanted another like you to date.
    You were an Italian princess, in both Europe and the states.
    We were both young then, a lake’s sunrise glitter on skates.

    * Was the new MerCruiser division the icing on the cake, in which it is why Brunswick invested in partnership with Kiekhaefer Mercury?

    * In Mercury Marine’s profit-margin ratio, did the MerCruiser division ever surpass the Outboard division's profit revenue?

    ~~~~~

    Looking into the past (1960s), it seems to me, the Brunswick brass saw a lot of potential in the Mercruiser division. The sterndrives were now capable of becoming a major player, in the salt-water recreation craft. As the preferred option choice to, the diesel & inboard engines.

    If Mercruiser ever was the major revenue source for Mercury Marine, I think that is fading to be the past. With the advent of the Large Displacement Outboards, getting positive public acceptance, the salt-water craft are constructing & mating up to the big outboards. It is coming full circle, the outboards market demand, is the prominent revenue source for Mercury Marine.
