Subject: Re: Merc 250 V-Rod

I was living in Fond du Lac when the Verado was being developed and the folks I knew at Mercury were extremely proud of it. The engineer they brought in to work on the super charger came from Porche in Germany and lived about a block away from me. Guy drove a Porche and drove like a race car driver. My next door neighbor was a plant manager and engineer for Mercury and was a guy who was measured and careful in his speech but just lit up talking about the Verado. He had no part in its development, just admired its design.
