kicker question

[Todd 29]

Does merc sell a kicker to compete with the t8. Power tilt, high thrust etc... If not when will merc get their act together and offer a kicker that can compete with Yamaha. I am trying to decide on a outboard but want to buy a matching kicker.

They are coming out with one with the lift built in and high thrust.
I just don't know when its available. Its supposed to have better
controls also for the tiller handle.
