No More Carb Engines?

[Tony Ceriale]

Hey All,



How is everyone? some great topics on this site, i love that we all are passionate about our country and our freedoms! ITS GOOD to stand up for what you believe in.!



I do agree with many or all of you about the "new" Gov ... turning into socialism quickly@:angry:



anyway, Did anyone hear this? Mercury will NOT be producing Carb engines next year... ? 1st plan is a 50 Opti? (no more 50,90,150 Carb):unsure:



Wonder if this is true and what the NEW engine(s) will look like??



and does anyone own the new X4 or X5? Do you think it is worth it to sell the 640LX? Hearing also Tracker will be offering BOTH boats with a 115 rating ,2010 models?? hmmm...



Enjoy the day, because it is later than you think!

Tightest Lines!!!

Actually the 150 carb motor went away two years ago. This isnt exactly new news by any stretch, the EPA had a mandate for cleaner emissions by 2008 and the majority of the carb motors went away then. Some of the smaller carb ones hung on as well as the 150 EFI but even thats going away in favor of Optimax or 4 stroke motors.
