Cosmic, It's a center entry boat so it's not the new dash which I saw by the way. I have the spy photos and I'm using them to get what I want from Pat, otherwise they'll be all over the press like "Tiger"! Steve

So the engine is an aluminum head, closed cooling 502 with catalytic converters?? What kind of drives does it come with that duoprop looking deal??
Those converters gotta come out to make some HP!

Looks at the merc website. These motors are not the same as the old 502 rotating assbly. New ones are 4.25 stroke x 4.38 bore which I calc 512 ci. Old 502's are 4.00 stroke x 4.447 bore. Plus has 9.1:1 compression. No wonder it makes more torque than old motors, it has a stroker crank!
Wonder if its a new block casting.
Now if we could just bore it and make some 540's.............

Don't take offense I don't keep up with the industry. Saw the BII pic on Sydwayz' link and thought that Merc may be making a hi perf BII or something.
