congrats guys.. just as a reference.. the new MERC 300's can now be ordered with the new improved lower..

Yes, I just put the snowmobile in storage on Monday, it's time for summer. Around here, that should arrive about July !

No doubt that would be the perfect boat as far as I`m concerned!!
Layaway for about 10 years is that cool?

Actually I`ll take mine with one of these

As far as quality and reliablilty is concern Mercury could only hope to come close. What alot of people don't know about Yamaha is there enginers have been behind the design and build of many engines for the Japanese automakers. Yamaha as a overall company has a unbelieveable amount of technology which is transfered into the products they build. Yamaha's stuff might not be the fastest or the lightest but its BUILT TO LAST!!!!!!

OH NO!!! are you saying that speed isn't the only concern in performance boating????? Say it ain't so.

Thank you, its nice to see someone else gets it

Not exactly but point well taken. Boating every weekend is more important to me than have a super fast boat

Our best calculations is 73 based on a loaded boat at 6500 lbs.

Back when I bought my 30 SS Sonic in 1989 it ran 73 with a pair of 454 Magnums and Bravo drives. It broke either the drive or the gimbal every other month. That was just a buttload of fun....

I am older and smarter. If it runs everytime we go out it is fun. That is the biggest reason we push the Merc 525s. NO ISSUES.

Yamaha outboards? very interested. Mercury outboards? very interested. Caddy engines turned sideways? Very interested. Anything that doesn't break.

We all turn the corner at some point.

No issues with my new Sonic either. Great boat.

Id rather have reliability over speed anyday of the week and twice on Sunday. With A.T you can have both.. wait why am I buying a Baja???
