MERCURY INTRODUCES THE NEW VERADO 350 SCi

This awesome 350-horsepower in-line six-cylinder supercharged engine is your ticket to the sweetest setup on the water, with its electronically controlled sequential multi-port fuel injection and four-valve-per-cylinder, double-overhead cam design. We're talking rocket-like planing for a hole-shot you won't believe.

 

You'll be awestruck by precision handling via SmartCraft Digital Throttle and Shift: its stealthy roar, plus raw power like no other outboard you've ever run. Whether you're buying new or repowering, Mercury Racing's Verado 350 SCi brings even more power to perfection.

 

And no matter how fast or slow you run your Verado 350 SCi, you'll get optimal fuel efficiency, because the system incorporates the very same groundbreaking RangePlus PowerTrain refinements all Verado models do. That means you can open the throttle and push your boat faster, farther, and longer - all without compromising a single ounce of attitude.

NEW 20FT NOMAD, A BIG HIT FOR RENEGADE MARINE!

Designed to be superior, and built to last, Renegade Marine “Nomads” are the best line of flats and bay boats on the water. They new 20ft model is the latest addition to the sleek line of high performance light tackle fishing boats. Its Vee hull design just knifes through the chop, and a 5-foot pad helps the boat jump up on plane instantly and reach speeds in excess of 65 mph.

 

This boat handles better than smaller flats boats, amazingly it still floats in a mere 10-11 inches of water (depending on engine weight and load). A well though-out layout, which includes ample storage compartments, and a comfortable bench seat with removable back rest, also contributes to make the new Nomad a superb choice for serious recreational anglers or tournament pros.

KARMA RODS, INCREDIBLE PERFORMACE YOU CAN AFFORD

Karma Rods are far from being the most expensive in the market, they are, nonetheless, the true essence of what is important for a light tackle angler. Every single component must prove its worth to be on a Karma Rod. So don’t expect to find trim bands or intricate decorative wraps that only add to the cost, and won't help you catch more or bigger fish.

With their precision tapered blanks, deluxe cork grips, Fuji reel seats, titanium coated SIC Concept stripping guides, Recoil titanium running guides, and an integrated rubberized cork fighting butt, you are certain to notice the difference the very instant you pick up a Karma rod.

Karma’s multi-modulus blanks are the heart of their innovative rod designs. They provide minimal weight with maximum strength, as well as an incredible amount of power, no matter what the taper. The blanks also incorporate a helix in the lay up that prevents the rod from ovalizing under stress.
