Look again. That's a 4-blade Merc offshore cleaver, and its reflection off the surface of the water.

It was called the Deuce High. I believe it was always experimental, never produced for the public.Chuck.

Duece High
I wish they would have gone production with that....My favorite Merc for sure.
The VMAX 150 TRP is the only counter-rotating outboard ever produced as far as I know. 1997-2003 and 2005
I may have some experience with one real soon
