Bad weather relief; boat porn!
If you have an extra $80K to drop (per motor) you're all set.
Formula is using up to 4 of these to power their new 500 SSC Scott https://boattest.com/boat/formula/50...ent=Thurs+2.18

A V12 outboard motor? Whoa...I'm no boater, but that looks very cool.
I'm not surprised though. Many people might not remember that Mercury Marine built the original ZR-1 32-Valve motor, so they clearly know their business. |

Yahmaha 425 is ~$47k Merc 450r's are 60k a pop, and their 400 verado starts at $36k. The 527's were 80k and the 627 are 90k. Plus the ease of warranty and parts for Merc and Yammi. I'd take 4 Merc 400 verados over 3 527s. $160k vs $240k in motors.... no brainer. |

I would wait a bit and get 2 Mercury Racing versions. Supercharging should bring at least another 150HP each to the party. Less weight, less GPH, less $$$ than 3 "standard" 600s.
