    175 4 stroke

    Anybody heard anymore about a possible 175 four stroke or other four strokes that might be coming out soon other than the Verado's

    Every year I hear rumors of a 175/200 built off the normal aspirated 150 and every year I'm disappointed. After all, Yamaha does it with their 175/200 built off their 150 and it has a lot less cubic inches than the Merc so it can be done. I think Merc is just afraid that it would just mean the end of the money making Verado 175/200 like what happened to the 150 Verado when the normal aspirated 150 came out.

    I think they'd sell a lot more of a normally aspirated 175 than they ever would with the Verado.

    For sure! I'd bet they sold more of the normal 150's 4 cycles in one year than they did of the Verao 150 during its full run

    Rumors abound... perhaps this year's boat show will be the one everyone has been waiting for.

    The numbers on the new 150 were awesome... but the 150 V-Rod did very well, also.
