Scott B 07-01-2008 01:45 PM

Older Merc 4 strokes were Yammies.. The new ones are their own design AFAIK...

Classic statement Brownie. Only thing to smuggle these days is people. But, the cubans have a lock on that market. At 25K a head it's a profitable racket.

My question is why would brunswick be interested in contender anyhow. Is contender doing that poorly financially?

Scott B 07-01-2008 02:05 PM

No, not the issue.. HUGE source of transom slots though....
