    Have not seen the 250? Looks like they announced the 150 Pro xs 4 stroke so far.

    Saw the new 175-200-225 at the Milwaukee sport show last week. Look a lot nicer in person. I think a lot better than the Evinrudes.

    I may have to get another new boat after all, thought I was done. I like the look of the new Mercury.

    They had all the Mercury big motors represented. Including the new four strokes up to 225. No 250.

    Lol... I have an Evinrude and that thing looks nearly identical. I would be surprised if it that 4-stroke Merc can keep up with my Evinrude. Everything that you've read about the G2 is real. It really doesn't matter in the end because i've beaten guys in $80,000 rigs and i've been beaten by guys in $2,000 rigs.

    Looks like a G2 clone. All of the Merc guys said they hated the appearance of the G2. Bet they love this!

    Not all of them, I find it hideous. The white looks better than the black though, in my opinion.

    Oh no doubt about it, I really like the current cowlings on the smaller merc 4 strokes now, I just wish the bigger models would have the same option. I just keep envisioning a seahorse when I see the new model. I do think it will take away some of their sales with this look.

    I have to agree, it has very similar lines.

    Looks just like every other modern day piece of power equipment. Jet skis, quads, snowmobiles all have the same type of styling. I think it looks nice.

    Looks a little like the giant 7marine outboard too.

    I think it would look ok if the point on top of hood wasn't so pronounced!

    Look ok the from front and rear. From the side, not so much!

    I'm a mercury guy and I liked the g2 when it came out. This mercury will have to grow on me. My next boat will have a Suzuki or Honda on the back.

    There was quite a stir last year because some Evinrudes and maybe even a (my black motor) Suzuki broke down last year if I remember correctly.

    Anyhow, I hope it's a good, fast, dependable, fuel efficient, quiet motor.
