I recently purchased a pair of 50hp mercs and my dealer explained they are command thrust models, “ built like the bigfoots were “ in that they have a heavier lower and give up just a bit of top end speed. Mine are tiller models, if that makes a difference? Osky A woman's heart is the hardest rock the Almighty has put on this earth and I can find no sign on it.
