Mercury Unveils New Verado 135, 150, and 175 HP 4-Cylinder, Supercharged Engines

[blkmtrfan]

Greg did you get a press kit with all of those merc photos? What else is there in that little kit

have to admit, the smaller Verados at least don't look like a Jumbo Shrimp

And I really do like the idea of the 25 EFI with rope start, how much does that one weigh??

[Scream And Fly]

Scott, I have a lot of stuff to go through - I'll be sharing all the goodies with you all.

Here's another photo of the 4-cylinder Verado. Many more to come

TJ (Tippy) down there. He's working the show this week, probably on the boats.

Mike, I asked about Tip today - he's actually not here working, but on vacation. That's why he's been so hard to find. LOL!

I'll see if I can find him tomorrow though.

Does he have my Amigo membership card?

APBA Super Sport, here I come! The question is, how much weight break do i get for running a "slow 4-stroke"

[Scream And Fly]

Here are a pair of 175 Verados in action:

[150aintenuff]

boost lvl cam profile.. injector size... and other equal weight "identical looking" parts interchainged I assume to change HP..

[150aintenuff]

heres a question for yas.... looking at the mota... why didnt merc just go straight up with the back of the cowl and mid..... it looks good xcept for the rear taper out then back in.....

[cobra19]

they won't quit making the optimax. Tell me if I'm wrong the Verado 175 probably costs better than $20,000. And what kind of job would a person have to have to spenfd that kinda money on an outboard motor?

[Riverman]

A 15 etec will really honk on my zodiac!

[SCAngler]

the big daddy verado (275) only cost $16,000 including the rigging... the 175 will probably be comparably priced to the 175 opti. www.jacosmarine.com

[150aintenuff]
