Somebody's got to pay for that corporate Jet?

Mercury Marine's actual cost adder for going from a 375HP Mag to a 425HP Mag HO = actually about ZERO!
$4Kto $5K for the UPTICK?
Nice little profit center!
They will be doing the same thing with their new 502 Mag and 502Mag HO being released later this year!
That 800 lb black gorilla knows the meaning of the word PURE PROFIT! WELL TRAINED GORILLA!
