So you mean a larger displacement six cylinder...

Yes it will be, and it will be much lighter since it will be a full cast block.

Just hope Merc comes out with a higher hp version of the new V8 at the Miami show like everyone is saying. Supercharged or whatever... I don't want the heavy straight six. The new VIDEO is awesome all the way around.

I live in Oshkosh, Mercury tests in front of my house, in Miami, 450 super charged V-8

I have no clue what Mercury are planning but with all the different ideas on this thread, and some of you guys sound pretty sure, it will be interesting to see who is right and who is wrong. :)

I hope you are right. That's exactly what I was wishing for among others...

I believe you but curious how you can tell, I doubt they are doing testing with decals on the motors are they?

Merc was going to lose global mkt share if they didnt do away with the Opti’s, due to the ban on 2 strokes in larger to most of Europe. The V8’s will need many more miles to be put on them before you can expect a large increase in HP from this new platform. If you study the evolution of the I6 Verado, it took Merc over 10 years to get from the initial HP offering to where they are now. Expect at least that from the new V8’s before any major HP increases. The ROS I6 is reportedly running a sleeveless full cast block in the current displacement thats being offered for sale now. The bored out version is being tested in the Dubai region of the world.

Everything I've heard is SCV8, 450HP is what we'll see at MIBS in February. I don't even care any more though, as I don't plan to sell my '18 400Rs with 22 hours on them to repower for an extra 50HP aside.

I heard an 8 but they chopped up verado cowlings to fool people and got me:)
