Yeah,
Mercury sucks, but not for lack of performance.
My 310 Airfloor planes and scoots along on the "step" with 105 KGs of swinging Norwegian onboard using a 4 HP
kicker..
The quality and warranty sucks however.
(It should be 10 years warranty on the
boat, but to get anything done is like pulling teeth. They have flaming idiots in the warranty department: Instead of arguing and dealying
repairs they should have said: Yes Sir, we will fix it immediately, sorry for the trouble..
