This has to be the ugliest outboard ever produced. I got A KICK OUT OF THE Merc head of styling trying to defend this piece of crap, as bold and futuristic. It's kind of like the Ford people trying to convince us the eagle wing front end of the Lincoln was beautiful. You see how long that beautiful lasted.

The Rudes are the ugly ones. I warmed up the new Merc's style when my buddy got a Speedster..
