Mercury Marine Launching V-10 Verado Outboards

[Zone 5]

Mercury can't even build enough current 300-400-450 outboards. How the hell they think they can build these?

A 450 is about $65K retail. If I needed one and offered $100K I couldn't get one. Last time I checked they were 18 months out.

The problem I see is that all the new boat manufacturers get first dibs, so there is nothing left for the aftermarket. We were down in KW last week and my wife commented on all the Poker Run Boats with 4,5 and even 6 outboards on them, no wonder we can't find what we want (currently have 3 - 275's on the Intrepid - but wanted to switch to the V8 300). Going to pull the boat over the weekend and do the 1,000 hr Mercury recommended tune up, etc.

absolutely correct. These multi engine million dollar boats get them, and if you need one its too bad for you. Good luck to people that have warranty claims.
