Mercury’s new outboard

[bgreene]

Is a V12 600 hp with 2 speed transmission weighing around 1,200 lbs .

That’s approx 100 lbs more than the worlds strongest man can dead lift ....

I’m thinking a bit large for our V boats ...

Ha, i saw that announcement yesterday and thought of you. I knew you d try to put one on a V20.

Forgot to mention, it also has a 2 speed lower unit that also turns while he power head remains straight. retails for approximately $77,000

Obviously this new Merc 600 will be going on big boats, twins instead of quad 300's etc.
Will be interesting....technology presses on so maybe followed by 800 etc......

Yeah. That thing is a BEAST!!!
Starts at $77,000, not including rigging.

Hah ..... that leaves me out but all my boats and motors bought used except the 9.5 hp Evinrude my dad bought in 1974.....

V20/21 ....of course being a top choice all around low cost rig for people who know what to look for......except for the mild HP rating : )

77,000 dollars does it come with a prop? Not bad why stop there ask for 80.000' go big.
