According to the new Powerboat mag, Mercury has no future plans to sell the ACE as a stand-alone drive. According to the article it is only configured to fit their new 700's - and nothing else. It has something to do with the transmission not fitting the drive plate on any other engine but the 700's.
I'm bummed because I thought it was going to be a viable replacement for the bravo, without having to fork over $85K for their overpriced 700 hp.

From what I heard the Merc. ACE with be available as a stand alone some time in December of this year. The Drive will bolt up to a Bravo opening.It is a manual type transmission which is very interesting to me.

This is a new engine package for Konrad. It's 632" Dart aluminum heads, naturally aspirated, port fuel injected, assembled with nothing but the best components to support 800 hp. In the right hands, it should provide 300+ hrs between rebuilds.
The entire Konrad package has been engineered for longevity with poker runners in mind.

I kind of think our new HO725 engine is a better offering, couple it up with a Konrad or Imco SC1000 drive and you have spent only about $56K with closed cooling and one year warranty. Check out April issue Powerboat Magazine page 39.
Just thought I would plug our motor.
