| I was living in Fond du Lac when Mercury was developing the Verado. Years in development and testing. Just the production line cost over $5 Million. Built in Germany, assembled and run there, then shipped and reassembled in Fond du Lac. That is just one assembly line for one motor. They brought in an engineer from Germany who had previously worked for Porche just to fine tune the super charger. Outboards today are incredibly complex, powerful and efficient. That kind of engineering, manufacturing does not come easy or cheap. | |
