2017 regency 254 dl3
Mercury 300 pro four stroke
Lifting strakes everywhere but outside of outer logs
Enertia 15.6x13 prop

GPS 41.5 at 6400 rpms.

Thinking a 15 or 17 should be on it.
Is this Mercury's new V-8 Four-Stroke that replaces the Verado?

No sir, I got the last year of the supercharged 6 cyl. Didn’t plan it that way though.

I wouldn’t have bought a first year new design had I know it was coming out anyway.

Very happy so far with the blower motor. I had the ol lady, the kid, and a bunch of fat chicks in it last weekend and was still getting over 40.
There certainly will be boaters who miss Mercury's supercharged motors!

I am wondering when we will first start seeing these new mercs on pontoons.

1996 Sweetwater 2019ES
1978 Mercury 700 (70hp 2 stroke)
Two toons (no lifting strakes)
Half tank of gas
20mph (no Bimini and 4 people on board. Wife 2 kids and me)
I have no idea on the prop (it was on the boat when I got it)
19.2mph (with Bimini up, flat water and no wind)

She’s an older boat with Jesus’ mercury, but she starts every time and I have $2k into her and trailer setup (2009 Hoosier bunk trailer with front ladder). This boat had some issues when I got it, but it’s our stepping stone boat before getting into a tri-toon.

So you've been abducted and they told you how they power there craft? I was wondering where you've been.
I've been sleeping three nights a week on my boat, on Blue Mesa Reservoir near Gunnison, CO.
No time for casual internet posting... I've actually been WORKING. :donno
