    We hear that Mercury is showing a new 400 HP outboard at the Miami show this weekend.

    We are offering a very special deal for any buyers that might want to order one of our outboard boats....24 or 28 foot with this 400 HP option.

    Nothing like a brand new offering out there, showing what that 8 foot beam can really do with some power.

    It would really be cool if it was a supercharged 2 stroke.

    I had my flight cancelled, so if anyone is down at the show, the rumor is.....

    that Skater has a new 30 foot cat with twin 400HP's from Mercury....the new engine.

    Would someone please find out if the rumor is true.

    Thanks

    GGGRRRR...

    All just my opinion of course, but I think 400HP is the "magic number" for outboards to go "main stream" on performance boats.

    300HP is a little light for most performance boaters but at 400HP, added in with the lighter weight, better fuel economy and lower sound levels; they become a more viable option for many.
