Merc Racing new release

[lbhsbz]

So...a heavy motor designed for the CC crowd....Why does it wear the “racing” badge?

 

[AZMIDLYF]

$54,000 - $64,000 price range

A new MTI 34 would be amazing right now.

WEIGHT

I get you guys calling it heavy being that its 21 pounds heavier than the 400. Do you think these 30+ foot cats or giant CCs are going to care they have a total of 21 more pounds on the ass? FOCK NO! What they are going to care about is the HUGE TQ DIFFERENCE, thus swinging a bigger wheel. Is the extra 50hp cool, sure. But the TQ is where these are going to show that they are a beast!

PRICE

Do you really think that the guys building $400k plus boats that these guys will be hanging them on are going to pass on these over an additional 30-40 grand between these and 400s? Absolutely not!

The Yamaha 425 is almost 1000 pounds. I'd say Merc has done well concerning weight.

Your missing something here. It’s a lower rpm so spinning a bigger wheel slower is the same as spinning a smaller wheel faster. I’m sure there is breakeven point. But I don’t see this spinning a giant prop like a stern drive does. So this a small mph gain. Midrange acceleration is likely outstanding

That's a lot of sucking dick at the gay bar... I knew what was coming anyway..but was reaaaaaaaally hoping for a surprise something out of the 3.4 motor for us stv/allison/hydrostream/ little cool boat guys...meh...at least BRP's release of midrange motors was meaningful lol.

Do you have any clues for sale? Just wondering....

 

[HitIt]

Lol. Too heavy, too much money, blah blah. Yore right. They probably won't sell any. Those guys at Merc should have started a poll at RDP before designing this ridiculous thing.

Because they are well versed in luxury and wish to be versed in racing.

The only guys cryin about the weight are the small bote 2 stroke guys.

The price on this will drop when the the biggest announcement ever comes next year... that they are making a 500HP version.

Liked your V6 idea though.

Fresh out...... sold the last few to you, and it appears that you lost them!

 

[02HoWaRd26]

Well Brunswick is still way down, but up 1.07$ today! Let’s see it get back to 50$+

You mean the single engine boaters?

Fuk.. this is never gonna pan out!!

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

You mean the single engine boaters?

Yes. They have a series of consumer grade black outboards for you ranging from
4 to 400 HP. What more are you expecting?

Honestly the thing is barely heavier than the 400r, so if you were gonna run a 350 or 400 Verado, you could run the 450, and you may need to convert to DTS to do so.

If you want a 2 stroke you got up to 300 HP. I don’t see them putting more money into 2 stroke engines, there is far less money in it.

Why the Supercharger? Seems like a blind squirrel could make a motor with OHC and 4.6l make at least 400hp on 87 octane and probably a lot more NA. A Ford fucking flat-plane crank Voodoo motor outboard with 525hp would be awesome!

Supercharged to boost the midrange torque for moving the large hulls these will be pushing. I am hopeful that the aftermarket, go-fast boys, will jump onto the 300R and open up its NA potential for more RPM and HP.
