You get an "A", page62
<br />As Paul Harvey says, "Here's the REST of the story". Merc was faced with a decision,due to the Fed's new (Thanks, Clinton) stricter standards,under the "clean Air Act". The standards,slated for 2000, lower emissions..In particular, something called METB's...(Or whas it MBTE's ?? Hell, I dunno)<br />...Don't axe me, I dunno. But it's bad for water and what lives in therein.<br /><br />So anyhoo,Merc was faced with 70's era Technology, and Y2K standards.. Merc ran this by thier engineers, who said "EEEEW, GROSS!!! What's your overtime policy??"...Then, the powers what were commenced to whackin on thier addin machines, and they said, "YOUR FIRED!!" In short, they dropped the entire line,and cosolidated thier parts/suport concerns, who said, "EEEW, GROSS!! Our virginity is defiled!"... But, they reluctantly did so, under the "QUIKSILVER" brand name. But they called a citified lawyer, who told them , "You ain't gotta carry them past 10 years".<br />So, you get to today.... What a bargain for the savy boater!!! They were cheaper than a Merc to begin with when they were made
<br />Now, nobody wants em... I say, "FANASTIC!!!"<br />I get to buy used ones for a SONG! And they don't have VRO, Power oil induction, free rebreathing canisters, or nothin else that isn't 2CYLCE,MTBE-EMITTING,OIL-SLICKIN,RUNNIN,SCREAMERS! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting that bad stuff outta my favorite opponent's domain. It's a good thing they did. I'll just have to look up the nose of the "Allison Tournament Elite", OMC, Yammy and Merc guys at the ramp.<br />But let them eat cake, I'm spendin lots less than they are to get closer to ***!<br />And, at some point in the very distant future, my som will find a bargain in the old re***bant nuelcial force-feb,nano reducer outboard...."ooo bad they dont make no parts fer the puppy".
