New Merc engines
 

Did Mercury have any new engines at the Miami show? I heard they were coming out with a new line of LS based small blocks.

Good question. ttt

Didn't have anything like that at the Miami show. Only thing I saw new was the 1025SCI which is the 1075sci de-tuned for 89 octane.

Why wait? Its already here!
 

Why wait for Mercury. Raylar has our LSM550 engine available for almost two years now. Any real buyers out there , give us a call will fill your orders with a nice package now. www.raylarengine.com

Ray, any performance reports yet, like actual before and after numbers on twin engine rigs? How did that Formula 271 single work out?
Thanks,
Dave

The market pretty much shut off for us in September October for more of the LSM550's to get to the market.
The few that did get to new buyers have been holed up so far for the winter and we will not have a lot of input back until they get into the water, get dialed in and start producing real world results. We're not worried, we know they work and with a hopefully rebounding performance boating market more should splash this year and in the future. Until then we'll just have to wait for those dribble orders here and there.
Thanks for asking.

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

Austin,
Can you email me some pics of your boat. I may be building a new deck for my 32 spectra and really like the looks of your boat.
thanks for your help.

PS It looks very similar to my previously owned 93, 28' Challenger.

the new merc's will be available latter in the summer, these motors will be the deal, worth waiting for

John,

You want pictures of the front deck?

Jim Darr, the famous "Mercury insider". Did you do the engineering for these new motors Jim? Also, I'm sure you went to Lake X to do the testing? GO AWAY!

no, but I'm very familiar with the motor and it's technology. If it's any of your business. so disappear--- poof

Marine Power has had a 6.0 out for a while. They just came out with a 6.2 LS3 and LSA engine ready for the marine market. Website says their going to showcase a Super-Charged Cadillac CTS-CV all aluminum 6.2 L in one of their raceboats. http://www.marinepowerusa.com/Repower/62L.aspx

I didn't hear a thing about anyone introducing LS-based engines, other than what Ray has out. I doubt Merc's going to do it. They would have been crowing about it to no end.

To many Performance Boaters on Dry Land!
 

With the huge financial problems and lack of marine performance sales the industry is expierencing right now and in the immediate future I would not advise HOLDING ONES BREATH and waiting for GM or to many marine manufacturers to be rushing to market with any of these LS based marine high performance engines (425 TO 550hp RANGE) naturally aspirated or supercharged. Hell we've got one now and there are not many buyers rushing to buy any, why is that going to change with these suppossed ghost offerings??
Quit dreaming, get to work, work hard, earn some money and buy what you need!

Best Regards

Does this look like a ghost offering?

texoma, they are bad motors, the sc all aluminum is a high tech, big performance power plant for marine application, you will see them soon in new boats.
