I never thought I would see the day , Mercury is the absolute best in the world, I always thought that belonged to Johnson or Evinrude , they put out great motors back in the day , but Mercury has outclassed them to be the best ever

@unorriginal it's sad that OMC and Johnson Evinrude are gone , my dad had a 200 Johnson on a 77 Boston Whaler Revenge , it ran like a top , oh well , gotta love those big Mercury now

I remember the old mercuries being thin and broke down all the time or Johnson's were always running but Johnson and Evinrude just took it as they were the best and they wouldn't be challenged while Mercury kept going back to the lab and kept on building till they've now taking over the a large part of the market. Yamaha Suzuki have great programs but they also have the cars ATVs and they have engines in absolutely everything while Mercury is boats only

@@stevemccormick4938 Not with four of these. There is a bit of an issue regarding power to weight. Of course you can run four on a 40' Skater, and run at maybe 135-140 mph, but many will still choose,a pair of 860's or 1100's in that situation. There are obviously benefits in regards to maintenance, but many who buy the large cats are in it for speed and the bling factor. As far as quads and quintets go, I think the market will be with the large center consoles mostly.

WHY IS EVERYONE USING MPH?!?! ON THE SEA WE USE *KNOTS*
@dieseldog00
@dieseldog00 4 года назад
Americans are used to giving speeds in mph, especially the fast boats. The yachts and other slower boats use knots. I like to use both to get used to the conversion tables. My boat ran 80 knots WOT which is just over 92mph. 100knots is just over 115mph and so on up the speedometer and that's another thing; our speedos use mph so we are more in tune with that measure.

@alamos8
@alamos8 4 года назад
Yes weird thing. Historical I suppose, and may be because in mph the number is a bit higher than in knots, so more spectacular, and I suspect, that may have come from someone in the beggininigs of powerboat development, bragging about his boat speed, and cheating using "miles per hour" not "nautical miles per hour", and then others following the trend. I'm just theorizing though
