Re: New Merc 700 package
From what I was told the #5 ssm and the #3a ssm drives are now out of production. Mercury should fill the gap between the bravo and #6.

You guys should immediately stop talking about this top secret Mercury information.Failure to do so will result in the Mercury police helicopters outside your house.

Re: New Merc 700 package
There is a new Merc hi po drive, it is in one of the boating mags. Has a tranny built into the "extension box. Think it handles up to 1,000 horses, but since I can't afford it, I did not pay much attention to it.

Re: New Merc 700 package
The people I have spoken with told me the 600 engine is the detuned version of the 700/725/750 or what ever it turns out to be. The motor is currently being dyno tested and should be completed in 30 days. Mercury hopes everything goes well and they can introduce the package at Miami. This will include a new drive package in between the Bravo and #6 it should have a transmission in the extension box. Again if everything goes smoothly it will happen, but if problems arise it could be delayed or scrapped all together. As I find more I will post
