I bet 250 is released at the classic

Wonder when mercury stops making two strokes?

I�m thinking that there will be another version of this motor coming out, nothing in their current lineup looks anything like this concept motor does. All the other merc motors from the 4strokes to the new 150 pro xs look sharp.

This is one of the ugliest things I�ve ever seen. The light weight is cool but oh my goodness..... who in the world released a motor that ugly. Like it�s actually bothering me and I usually could care less about stuff like this. Lol. Mercury first of all has always been black. The decal placement freaks me out. The shape in general is horrible. I mean oh my goodness.... I don�t care how good they are you�ll never see one on my boat.

It's all subjective but I think the SHO is the best looking outboard ever plus it may be the best overall. Love mine.

All these comments about looks cracks me up. Like that's going to get you there and back when it counts.

Well when isvvthe 250 coming out? Maybe duringbbthe classic?

Did you marry an ugly lady?

Hope this is not a view into the future of Mercury 4 strokes. 4 months old 150hp Mercury 4 stroke sticks a rod through the block. [img]http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics..._40319537565860[/img]

There are going to be failures. Hopefully they will be isolated and not a trend.

If I was comparing my wife to an outboard she�d be a Merc 2.5L Drag motor. Light, lean, high reving screamer

see looks matter, great response sir!

I read THT where the saltwater guys use these more than the freshwater guys. There are threads on this motor that are pages long that don't have one person who posts anything that bad. Most of the people who own the 150 four stroke say its problem free. Its only been out for 6 or 7 years but from what I've read its the best 150 out there.
