Holy crap! It looks like an alien escape pod, and probably provides about the same thrust...

I think I'm going to fall in the water the first time I have to remove the cowling from one of those things. :)

That's a scary looking beast! And I thought my inline 6's were intimidating because they stood almost as tall as me.<br /><br />-W

Re: project X

I heard the same rumor. That said, I wouldn't even consider it a distant cousin to the venerable Tower of Power. Maybe after 40 years on the water.......<br /><br />-W

Re: project X

I think it is supposed to be around 250, looks big enough to be whatever they want it to be ;) <br />I saw my 1st 250 Suzuki on the back of an Osprey this weekend, what a great looking motor. You can even tell it is running at low speed while trolling.

Re: project X

I went on the Mercury website yesterday after seeing that picture to see what info was on offer. Nowt Merc go to the trouble of a fancy Project X site and then give all specs as CLASSIFIED :( <br /><br />Pat C: I think its looks quite cool, give it polished silver rams :) <br /><br />In that picture I keep expecting to see Sigourney Weaver fighting it and another head popping out :D
