It looks like it's the 565 with a single throttle body setup. With 21 more cubic inches and only 15 more peak horsepower, it's obvious that they went for the torque gain (50 ft-lb). Any upgrades to the Bravo?

As soon as people stop buying it and go with something else!! If enough people boycotted the bravo and demanded Arneson, I'm sure Merc would do something about it. I here enough complaining on OSO about bravos, but people seem to just keep putting them on.

Would love to see LS-based offerings debuted.

Another low tech, high profit margin, 1960s motor out of Merc to replace what they already had. No big news..Where is the LSx 575 hp model?
