i hate to throw a wet towel on this campfire. But this is a photoshop deal. The last time mercury had a big outboard release was the 400. I got four of them before the show. We have no 450's. We have no 500's. Be prepared to be disappointed at miami if you actually think this is happening.

Price structure I'm guessing would be as follows, if/whenever this motor happens 450HP $31K 500HP $35K Currently, JacosMarine has the price of the 400R at $27K+ for the 20" SM lower . |
[QUOTE=Matt Trulio;4520563]The rumor is incorrect, [url]https://speedonthewater.com/in
This is not a surprise - the rumor never was that they'd be unveiled at Miami, or be 2017 models. All I know is that I won't be ordering new Verados until my boat is ready for them. And even then, if it's late in the boating season and the new motors aren't out yet, I'll let it sit for the winter without motors in anticipation that they are released in 2018. Thanks though Matt for letting us know that they definitely won't be a 2017 model. It's sorta' what I figured, but wasn't positive - now we know for certain! |
I have zero information about anything new from Mercury for Miami. But if I was a betting man, I would say there is absolutely NO way they would release both the 450 and 500 hp models at the same time. History does not support it and neither would any sales models...as in why would you compete them against each other with the same release date.

Personally I do not believe it until NOLI reports it!!!!!!!!!!
He never commented LOL |
I highly doubt it's true. Too close to the 400r release. Specific output is getting up there.
|
Anyone know the Verado block bore spacing? I haven't been able to find it, but I wonder if there is much room to bore it out beyond the existing 3.23" / 82mm bore...
|
ROS should be coming, which would be an upgrade for cats. I don't expect another HP jump soon. maybe when zuke has a 350-400 and yamaha improves theirs. Otherwise they own every transom between 300hp and 557hp!
|
Maybe the new 500R is going to be an inline 8, instead of an inline 6 :D
That would give a whole new meaning to "tower of power." |
