Now that the 1350's been proven, and a 1650 is out on the market, i wonder what is the next step? Merc can always build bigger and better, but i mean what can custom builders do to really broaden the potential of these motors on there own? Nordics connected them to a #6 drive in a 21.

Could a company like schiada put one of these is a 21 and run a v drive to it? I have seen it done with smaller motors like the 496 and 525. Or is this motor not capable? Is it impossible? or just impractical?

What about running to a surface drive like an arneson on a big cat?

With the Merc warrantee... I would have a hard time messing with it. It's such a solid package. It will be cool to see it in some smaller boats like Nordic did. :thumbsup

Lol. Read the article, the 1650 has no warrantee.

Whats the story on the 1650? Is it just a tuned 1350 or is there a displacement difference?

Merc will warranty the 1350 in front of an Arneson already. Like others stated there is no warranty on the new 1650 so it's a free for all:D
