Pics? When are they going to get their website up and running, and updated?

Mike, I'd put my money on Marine Power before Merc. Not saying anything bad about Merc other than their prices. Most/all of what Marine Power uses is the same as Merc.

We buy all of our Tige wakeboard boats with Marine Power small blocks.Trouble free,and MP is great to deal with. They are a relatively small company (compared to Mercruiser)with excellent customer service,I am very comfortable dealing with them.

I just reviewed their website and found this 611HP 502. Well, with the parts/combination that they have listed------Hmmmmmmm. Do I believe them? No. The dyno view does not work. Would like to see the "numbers".

I'm not inclined to post much, but I have to jump in here. I have two 30' work/dive boats with Marine Power engines. One has twin Marine Power 5.7 efis and the other has twin 4-cyl. naturally aspirateds. These boats work everyday in Lake Pontchartrain. Lots of backing down to pickup divers; towing boats, work platforms, etc. really hard use. I will never use any other engines. More power than a comparable merc. Completely reliable. Two fuel and oil filters Be sure you get a Marine Power certified dealer to install. It's not a merc and several things are different including the timing. The company is great. Ask them for a t-shirt with the "fat ladies" skiing.

Anybody else care to comment on this company or the engine. They have a 502 415hp, 496 425hp, 502 500hp, and a 530 539hp. All look to be great options for my repower.

Dealer site said 2 year limited warranty for the lower horsepower engine. The X 500hp motor looks just like a merc 500EFI.
