Yep, what Gary said was a sweet setup. Merc has made an ton of cash off people buying new bravos a couple times a year, if they are running a bigger boat with some horsepower.The 3A and the #5 are great drives.

Re: Mercurys new 850
the one at the merc booth had brodix heads that had "sonny's"
cast on the heads in the back. are these one off heads? i've
never noticed that on other brodix heads. advertised 9.0 to 1
compression & 91 octane, must be low boost.
