I don't think ya can top the Evinrude Gen 2 for ugliness, But this has got to be a close 2nd IMO.

Congrats on the CFF #1 !

thanks man. but you would think that they could come up with a better cowl than that ugly thing.

 

[silvertalon]

Agreed, hopefully they will lock better in 3d, lol

I think they look good, Haven't seen prices yet tho.

8 years late and no 250 hp. Mercury is behind Yamaha. I was hoping for better.

The 250 hp will be available within a few months.

i really dont care what it looks like, as long as its reliable, powerful and efficient...............

Pretty Accurate

The new cowl does have a major benefit in that you can check the oil without removing it. I don't mind the angular design - some of the new boats are going to that too. For instance look at a new Ranger - looking very angular. There has got to be some marketing intelligence that show we like the angular look. I guess I don't really care either way as long as the reliability and performance are there.

I really think its just a Verado with an angular cut in the cowling!

I wonder what a rear view of it looks like. I can't find it. I actually think it's gonna sell like crazy. It looks good to me honestly.

Heck, I'll get one on my new bullet build if the warranty and price is right.

When will these motors be available for purchase ?
