[QUOTE="Wild and Free, post: 212941, member: 406"] From all my research what really surprised me was how little discussion I found at all about mercs across fourms and FB boat pages and talking with marine dealers in high population boat areas like the great lakes and coastal areas. Seem to be really popular here in the midwest states but not as popular anywhere else except for the "R" series for the high end guys. That is the one brand that wasn't mentioned but a very few handful of times from places across the country for talk of overall quality or anything else for that matter. They got extremely low reviews on fuel economy especially when they were brought up. I do not think there are any "Bad" engines on the market anymore overall but there are some that are definitely better than others in areas. Like an old time mechanic told me many years ago when it comes to anything mechanical and arguments like this is better than that stuff. "If there was anything ever built that was perfect we would all be unemployed". [/QUOTE]
