Back order Mercury 450R

[Toffen]

Hi!

I hope you are well.

I will replace my 400R with a 450R. The market for outboards are so hot its difficult to get a firm date for a new 450R to be delivered. How many months do you need to wait for a new one in US?

Have a nice day!

I ordered 3 a month ago and they said october. I hear now they are into next february

If you are repowering, buying first and selling after you get the new motors sounds like a good idea. Unless you are also doing a total rebuild of the hull and plan to miss a year of boating anyway.

Unless you can find one in stock at a dealer somewhere, as a consumer you're going to be waiting a good long time.

Feb. 2022 is correct .

Damnit...I think everyone across the board is looking at a minimum of 90 days for anything else at this point and regardless of company, they are looking at fall or '22 for higher HP. Start planning now for next year I spose.

What's the wait for 300R's Randy or 250R's for that matter?

[WILDMAN]

I'm getting five 300R's and a 250R on Monday. All 20" with sportmasters

From a spectator’s view I am glad the 450 went to Tuff. It will be interesting to see how the big single flies

Buy a new boat with the 450's, swap out your 400's onto it and resell it........ unless you want to wait til the end of time...............

Whats the lead time on the 300’s? Maybe looking to move to a 300 ProXS.
