Looks like the new Merc is copying the G-2 that the Merc guys have picked on for the last 2 yrs 😎

Yes Instigator and the new Mercury is also a 3.4 liter V6. Same as the G2..
Another interesting picture..a group of people from the Yamaha factory is checking out the G2 joy stick option..!!

Looks to me like Merc stole the design from this.

I think Ted Williams motors has a case for patent infringement.

Their last new design looked like two shrimp engaging in oral sex.

Years of speculations about this came to an end. Instead a boxy looking Merc 3.4 liter V6 was all we got.
I am disappointed and suddenly the cleanest EPA approved outboard ever...the 3.4 liter V6 Evinrude G2 is looking extremely good..

Today it’s the big one.. The great American race Daytona 500.
I am not going to pick one winner but three possible winners in no order..
#4 Kevin Harvick, #9 Chase Elliott or #2 Brad Keselowski.
