First let me say I am a Mercury man . But this ain't your daddy's OMC . The initial numbers on this thing are impressive . From fuel burn to oil consumption and a Massive amount of torque ! Oil tank on motor means more room in boat . Integrated steering , theoretically should be more durable due to less exposed moving parts . Electric shift .. Could save lower units from damage due to accidentally shifting in or out of gear at high rpms . 5 yr warranty is pretty strong for a brand new outboard. To me it means at least they think it is a good product . Beautiful.... Maybe not so much .
The torque is what impresses me the most . It should slingshot any bay boat out like its nothing . And the potential to turn a Bigger prop for those of us that like to cover some ground .
But in the end only time will tell . I will be watching
