Anyone heard of dealers starting to get shipments yet? My dealer is still not getting any info whatsoever.

Randy Corson with Liberator boats in Florida had several R motors in stock.
Talked to mine again this week..
She said her Merc rep is at least giving some hope to start seing a few in late Aug. or Sept
We can all thank JM and White River group..when they place an order for 4500 engines, go figure who is going to get them. They are killing the little guys. It'd be cool if everyone outside of JM formed a co-op, pooled resourses and placed bigger order than JM, giving them a taste of their medicine. There are thousands of Nitro's, and Tracker Party barges setting at Bass Pro/Caleba shops around the country with 250 Pro XS hanging off the backs of them..just setting there while other the smaller manufactor's can't get one...it's crazy..

If that's true, JM is more of a genius than we've given him credit for. First, all his boats are on the lot ready to go... Second, he's eliminating the competition without putting his fingerprints on it... Brilliant!!!... Dan
Mercury has had my money for 14 months. I gave up and bought a Yamaha SHO. The lack of information is ridiculous. Funny--they still advertise about their great motors--you have to buy a new boat to get one. I'm done with Mercury. I kept it on order and will sell when I get it!

It'd be interesting to know the number of boats sitting at home with no power waiting on the a Mercury 4s. I'm one of them
Not just any new boat......……Originally Posted by lunker56
I put my old motor on ---still waiting.
Geeeeez, sure hope I do not have to wait on an engine, my boat should be ready in about 2-3 weeks.
Well my boat has been sitting waiting on a motor since Oct. 2018. Sucks
GETFISHED !!!
I figured JM would get blamed for this,,LOL
I would be looking at SHO. It would be cheaper than Merc in the long run, no need to add oil.... they make there own.
Me too!
Just out of curiousity, what was the price increase? Was this on 2019 or on 2020 outboards only?

Mercury doesn't use "years". New pricing went into effect July 1, 2019 (across the board).

What if the motor was paid for in full in Oct 2018?
Depends on the dealer... Some dealers eat the increase to satisfy customers, some pass the increase on so they can still make money
4 % is what I was told and they would not honor the old price no mater when it was ordered.
Thanks! I was looking for a percentage. Appreciate it

I was told that in September we could see a big difference. Anyone else heard this?
