Mercury must be planning to phase out the 525 otherwise makes no sense to me.....Why spend $11k more for 525 that has 5 more HP and 1 year less warranty....Also interesting that Mercury gets 520 HP on cheap, restrictive exhaust system. Wonder what this engine would produce with decent exhaust? Seems like Mercury has killed the 525 with this release.

Well at least they are trying, I wonder why they didn't just go with a 540ci & use "off the shelf" parts so the cost could be less. At least they won't have issues with cracking headers but for the price could have polished the risers. The 2 year warranty is a plus. Randy
