Default Mercury’s new outboard

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 ...

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......

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 : )

Let me understand this 77.000 plus a prop, another 800 plus installing it maybe 3000 plus tax plus controls so your talking about 90 grand when it's done? That can't be right who can afford that?

People that don't have to worry about the cost. Billionaires and drug runners. There has to be a market of they wouldn't have developed it in the first place.
