I took the picture last year. Just now did the work to post pics. We pick up at Mercury Racing all the time. I'll have to try and find it... But we picked up a pallet full of new Bravo stainless props going to Florida. 10 left hand rotation, 10 right hand rotation. 29 pitch.
One thing for sure... They werent going to New Jersey!!!
Sorry, I couldnt resist. :D

Your getting pretty good at this picture thing. If you open pictures in paint you can use the smudge tool to wipe out things like faces or stuff in the picture you dont really want others to see and stuff like that before you post them. Good luck Mike

I 'll take your word on that... Three of each came in that day, Maybe the drives and gimbles for another boat they were working on.
Anywho. I see that sort of Mercury Racing stuff all the time.
Anybody know how many cinder blocks a 700 weighs????
Just kidding. My boss and me are the only guys at work with bigger boats.
If one of them came up missing he would be on my doorstep that afternoon.
And it just wouldnt be worth getting fired for.

The NXT package pictured even has a drive ratio. The 700's will roast a bravo, hence the reason they are not available with them.. Factory lists the weight @ 702 lbs, but I believe that is engine only.. (http://mercuryracing.com/sterndrives/hp700sci/specs.php)

If you ever meet the guy who hijacked my 200 Merc somewhere between Lake X and Miamuh kick his ass for me would you please?

I wish i could help you with that, but they come to our dock and get hauled to Milwaukee. Put on another truck that takes'em to Florida.
I dont even go up to pick them up anymore cause i have a different route.
Sh@t... I havent been to Florida since 1978!!!
