Both have 1 year warranty. I would think the Ilmor's would hold up longer due to being non supercharged.

Does anyone know why they were running different props. 15 5/8 x 34 for the mercs and 16x32 for the ilmors? with the higher pitch prop, maybe the ilmore woudl have had better efficiency? Also a reason for the faster acceleration with the ilmors.

It would make much more sense if it was on the Ilmor site!

It is in the cruising range that is interesting.
50MPH:
Merc 3000rpm-51mph-32.3GPH vs Ilmor 3500rpm-49mph-52.4GPH
60MPH:
Merc 3500rpm-61.6mph-45GPH vs Ilmor 4000rpm-60.5mph-65.7GPH
The Merc is 20GPH more efficient at cruise speeds!

Thats what I was saying in my first post! Thats a big difference. No boat that may be why Merc put it on their site

We are considering launching our new boat with the Ilmor 625. The local marine sales guy says 'don't do it' because resale will be low. I want to know if anyone here would be turned away from a boat deal because it had the Ilmor instead of a Merc?
How much do they weigh.

So in addition to earlier reasons the Merc gets much better gas milage cruising?? Again I propose my question, seems like Ilmor would need to be more competitive (pricing) to gain market share, price them to compete againist the 525efi, I think that would be a way to get market share. As for carring the Ilmors to a Dodge dealership, I don't know if that is a certifed mech for those motors??
