I did forget the sidewinder (and didn't realize they made a bigger one for 25ss)...and you can buy a new Yamaha Pro50 for the 750 classes. I would guess that cost is then the deciding factor given the lack of new product we see on the race course...or they aren't competitive yet.
Is the Merc 15 a US only motor? I don't can only buy the F4 60hp (I realize I could go cross boarder....and would never buy a merc....but I don't see it on Mercnet lol)
