    Has anyone heard of a 3.4 Merc?? They were made in the early to mid 90's. If so how good are they, should I stay away from it?? Any information would be great!!
    thanks.

    I heard they were a true 300hp to the prop stock. That's what I was told!! I could be wrong but on my little boat it should fly!

    They were unreliable dogs that were pulled from production by Mercury after a few years. Don't go near one. wink
