Any prices???

Or is 2000 caracters allowed in posts not enough to insert it?

Just post something like $1.0x10 at the 8th power or something.

It would be nice to have an innovative drive other than a #6 to go with that power.

So what's the rumor on it - does it have a transmission or is it a Bravo replacement?

Let's see, how long ago was it that Merc discontinued it's 572 cid 850hp motor/SSM3a or 5 drive package. They should have saved the R&D investment and kept offering the old package at a reasonable price.

Re: Mercurys new 850
 
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.

Scott B 02-17-2005 08:34 PM

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.
