When an outboard motor hails from the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," you expect nothing but great things. And the Mercury Verado delivers. The throttle system is all-digital, meaning it relies on data cables rather than traditional, mechanical cables. The end result is an instant response to your command, captain, and smooth, quiet shifts as you power up and down. The steering is easy, accurate and reliable, no small concern when maneuvering back into your slip. The supercharged four stroke engine delivers strong get-up and go for skiers or others who just want to feel the rush of skimming across the water. Its mid-range is powerful, and yet it offers impressive top-end speed when you're trying to beat the weather back to the dock or just hustle to the next fishing hole. With an insulated (and isolated) cowl design and patented muffle chambers, this “Best Of” will seem as quiet as the nature you can actually hear around you.
