nice, who owns that boat

A first for me today..
I stopped by a local Mercury dealer to take a closer look at the new Merc outboard.
Maybe a good engine but I need way more time to like the look of the thing..!!..

So same as the one that came out 76?

If my memory is correct it was a sand cast block as the diecast block wasn't completed yet. I do remember the crank was made by welding pieces from V-4 blocks together.
