Anyone have any info on Merc's neew 1700hp race engine?

The 1700 is a juiced up boosted 1350 that runs on race fuel, some race teams are already running them

only other information i can find. got this in my email inbox this afternoon

If they are really running at the 1700HP level without failures, they truly deserve the accolades.

Sweet Jesus! Thats really getting up there...

Only the 1%er will be able to afford these motors---------- if the 1350's are $204000.00 each, would not want to even guess how much the 1700's will be .. Way too much money !!!!!!!!

Totally agree.

You mean the 1% of the 1% of 1%?

Out of reach or healthy sponsors.

Problem is there's only one company that makes a drive to take that much power and its not mercury.....

I believe there would be several companys out there that will hold , most shafts will, bpm, trimax, arneson, Flexi, levi, scs,pulse, Xpower,tOp system to name a few, there are already some boats on the race circuit running them.
