I can't help but think a good chunk of the decline in I/O sales are the stupid prices Mercury demands for them. They need a 30-40% price cut across the board. Also glad that Indmar and Ilmor and others are eating Mercs lunch in the wake boat category.
Merc doesn't make one ls based stern drive. Stupid.
If you can't tell I hate monopolies lol.

In 1986 I paid 34K for a 26' Mako cuddy with twin 175 Evinrudes, full electronics for the era on a two axle trailer.
I had one kid in college and another wanted two year later. If you think boat pricing is ridiculous look at college costs.

Pretty much all of the current Mercruiser inboard/sterndrive stuff is no longer GM. The new 4.5, 6.2 and 8.2 are all Mercury. All that is left from GM is the 3.0 and the 4.3
