I know this isn't breaking news but It is very nice to see Mercury Racing's outboard section of the website have more offerings for 2010. The thing that sticks out the most is the return of a HP 2.5L Motor. They have re-worked the 200xs (2.5xs and 175 ProXS lineage) and have a ROS version available. The one catch...NO WARRANTY :(. How sweet would that be on a new XB2002 Fasbass or XB2003? (if it had a warranty of course...)

Other points of interest. The new 225xs and the fact that all the "XS" motors 225-300 are all CARB 2-Star rated where the 225-250 "Sport" XS are 3-Star :confused:
Lastly, a 4 cyl/4-Stroke 60 EFI "Formula Race" motor with a 1.83 ratio and a 15" mid (How many feelings you could hurt with that on an Allison SS :D ). The one weird thing with the 60...its made in China (???)

Unfortunatly, the 350sci Verado is still a fat @zz at 667 lbs :wallbash:

Good to see both Yamaha and Mercury offering new motors this upcoming year :cheers:
