The partnership will focus on Mercury's world-class outboard product offerings and give Robalo customers the opportunity to experience the power of Mercury Marine and continue the engine manufacturer's growth in key saltwater markets.
'The Robalo line-up of center console boats is outstanding, and we're delighted to expand our relationship with Chaparral to include Robalo', said John Pfeifer, Mercury Marine president. 'The combination of Robalo with Mercury outboards will provide a fantastic smooth, quiet and powerful ride.'
