I hope you are right. It would be nice if the outboards got some real attention from Mercury Racing!!!

500 lbs of transom ballast, really? When my 32 had quads that was a non issue, is your transom notched?

I love that sentence "Fazza will be testing out the newly developed, reliable 350Hp XCAT Mercury 4 stroke engines." Newly developed and reliable are somewhat contradictory. I'm sure they've been tested like crazy but....
