A new Skater 368 cat is the first—and most likely the last—pleasure boat to be powered by Mercury Racing Verado ROS outboard engines, https://speedonthewater.com/in-the-n...red-skater-368.

Why would merc care if they were used for pleasure or race? Engines get R&D on the race course and if they are good enough for that then they sell products to the general public I would think. Are they not good ? What gives?
