    Buddy and I both have Eyras on order with the new motor on them. I believe they should be ready in a few weeks.

    Looks like even the 175 Pro XS will be a V8 beast.

    I believe the 150-225 are V6 engines. 250 and up are V8.

    In the video it said that the 175 Pro XS was a 3.4 liter so my mistake but the Pro XS 200 and 225’s are V8’s. In the video he said that the 200 thru 300 Pro XS’s are V8’s.

    I think I can get past the "alien" look for reliability and performance! I heard color matching panels may be an option too. Game changer for sure.

    This is a question for BCB, if I had a cat on order and it's not going to be here in till late June early July, would I still get a mercury 2 stroke pro xs, or would it be a new 4 stroke pro xs?

    The 2 strokes are all gone from what I have read. You should be getting the new 4 stroke

    The cat is out of the bag. Go to the mercury web site. All motor info is posted there with pictures. The V-8 will be offered on 200 thru 300 hp it 4.6 liters. Max rpm is 6200 and it weighs 505 pounds.

    Actually we have over a few dozen engines held back for those that would like a 2 Stroke Opti Pro XS.
