Vehicle Detail
MERCURY WATER MOUSE The design was originally a Disney World exclusive! Always stored indoors this rare boat, & trailier looks like it just came off the showroom floor! This boat includes an upgrade to a high performance propellor and an electric starter. Mercury created and developed this innovative design with fun in mind. But durability was equally important. Designed to withstand a very demanding 365-day rental environment, the boat consists of three major components: Durable, impact resistant hull made of re-cyclable polyethylene ABS plastic deck with an acrylic cap for a high gloss finish Polyethylene liner and seat Mercury's easy starting, smooth running 15 horsepower outboards power the Water Mouse. These are the same outboards used by recreational boaters the world over. The Water Mouse . . . Mercury innovation for fun on the water! Specifications Length; 10 feet 5 inches Width; 53 inches Weight; 360 pounds (boat only without fuel) Transom Height; 16 inches Horsepower; 15 horsepower Capacity; 2 people (320 pounds maximum) Total Capacity; 480 pounds (with motor, fuel, and people) Maximum Speed; with 8 gal. fuel and 260 lbs. 24 mph with 15 horsepower It’s a small world after all, as Walt Disney once told America. And what better way to Go boating in it than aboard a small boat? If you like truly small boats -- like the fun rental boats at Disney World -- you will fall in love with Mercury’s Water Mouse. This sporty little 10 foot, 5 inch vessel looks like a 35 foot express cruiser that got caught in a Shrinky-Dink machine. It has a tiny radar arch (for looks only), a foot-size foredeck and a white-out wrap-around windshield that doesn’t shield much. What the boat design does do is guarantee a chuckle, and all the amazed and admiring looks you can stand from other boaters passing by. If it looks like something out of an amusement park, there’s a reason: The design was originally a Disney World exclusive. Two people can sit in the cockpit of the Water Mouse -- and you really do sit down in this boat. As in a kayak, your legs stretch out all the way inside the boat (under the foredeck). Your top half sits upright behind the wheel, making it look to the rest of the world as if you have legs that are about a foot long. It’s undeniably fun to drive. With a 15 hp Mercury outboard engine hits a top speed of around up to around 24 mph. But speed is not the main attraction here, and neither is spaciousness . It’s built for regular everyday use, with a tough impact-resistant polyethylene hull that is very forgiving of novice boaters. The Water Mouse is also remarkably maneuverable and it handles surprisingly well. If you’re looking for the fun of personal watercraft, but want the styling and feel of a conventional power boat, the Water Mouse just might be your dream machine!
