So then, my friend, if the only difference is the lack of fishing accessories why did you buy a Mystic instead of a Contender or an Intrepid?

Performance center consoles are the ones painted like bass boats

That 450/ 500 photoshop happened around this time last year. To the point where multiple places (Even Mercury I believe) had to come out with statements just prior to the Miami boat show stating that it was a photoshop and not true. That picture made it's way around facebook very quickly and with FB downing the quality of pictures posted, it was very hard to tell it was photoshopped. Had everyone fooled.

What about the Mercury V8 outboard rumor? Mike Wood from CME stated on Facebook, is there validity to this claim?

You're far from alone in your feelings among performance-boat purists, my friend.

I don't create the market. I just report on it. Try not to kill the messenger. (But it's OK if you want to, of course.)

Just yanking your chain. Your sitting in warm Southern California, soaking up the sun, mountain biking, boating, drinking margaritas and it here the lake is frozen, the boat is shrink wrapped, it's 19 degrees and snowing..

Thanks for ALL the articles.
