Funny, you don't hear the Merc guys

[Forkin' Crazy]

Making fun of how ugly the Etecs are anymore.... LMAO!!!!



It is like an old Chrysler and an old Homelite had a child!!!

[tux974]

WOW those are some beautiful looking motors....... they even have eyes looking at you......

[powerabout]

how about the colour coded ones, direct copy of an etec

[Black Outlaw]

To me it seems like 7 Marine started this. It will grow on all of us and as soon as they become common we won’t talk about it anymore. Remember how bad the Verado looked when it was introduced.

Funny how the old omc v8 was too heavy and now...

[tlwjkw]

they're all butt ugly and over weight now and will still be that way when they throw dirt in my face...…….. jmo.

[carb a rator]

They are all butt ugly. Compared to 2.5's. The only difference is i would rather have a butt ugly mercury than a butt ugly rude.

[Dave S]

Top profile looks like V4 rude......White like o'l Mercs..... harder to clean .....I don't have to worry.... buy the time I can afford a used one I will be ...... not here.

Someone is going to make some money on cowling, the 400r was ok but these are fugley

[RSWORDS]

I thought they where fugly in every picture I saw. In person they dont look as bad. Way better then an etec IMO.

[rock]

My guess is someone got caught fn a goat and had to approve the design change. Ugly is not sufficient.

Rock

I dunno...I think we should compare pictures of each 300 side by side. I’ve attached a pic of the merc for starters.

Funny how speed is beautiful all on it's own. Compared to inboard boats, I've never thought boats looked very good with any OB hanging on the back.

Speed makes anything look better.

What the heck are we all going to do, when electric is the new speed in everything related to transportation. I guess boats might be a hold out and never really go electric, but cars?

I still think the Verado looks like shrimp, still can't get used to that....but these new mercs and those edges and points.....looks like a Chrysler pentastar

[Merc 2.5]

Yep uuuggggllllyyyy, new merc and g2, and I'm merc 100%, I'll just stick with old junk
