V8 Mercury Outboards
.
How far can we stretch our imagination to apply these beautiful power plants on catamaran boats and yachts? MJM Yachts <-- click https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...53d93cd70b.jpg |
.
what's your flavor for a go fast boat? P1 Superstock is in the works to launch a newly design fleet of Panther race boats with the 4.6L 300R V8 racing motors yes sir....canopied! P1 Superstock <--- click https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...f1900f7a5e.jpg |

or how's about a YellowFin with a single 300 V8 in tranquil waters YellowFin <--- click https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...843ba7212d.jpg |

Turnkey for 69k? Used boat I presume, how much for a new boat and trailer? RR . |
.
RR, Yes that's a used 24. A new 25 foot Predator cat with PPI interior is $52K no power. I too would be happy running 80+ MPH with new V8 motors :) https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4473/...35e86ac8_o.jpg . |

Hi Revd, I have a MacBook Pro laptop. the laptop come with a software called "Preview". when a pic is opened in Preview, clic on "Tools" then click on "Rectangular Selection". Then mark the area of the pic that you want to snip out from the rest of the image. COMMAND-C to copy into computer's memory. COMMAND-V to write the image from memory onto the final image which was a Skater 24 image. if you look in the Classifieds section, under PredatorPowerboats, I did another one with fly-by-wire controls. . |
Pretty cool.

Can someone tell me what the cost difference is between the 350 and 400 and is there a cost difference between the white and black.
|
White cost more than black. 350/400 difference depends on who quotes the price. Then there is MSRP, which is ridiculous high.

would you mind sharing the actual price of a 400r with rigging vs a 350 with rigging. Doesn’t have to be exact just ballpark, thanks |

that thing would probably sink an Apache scout. Looks like it belongs on a 50 foot sportfish

300r HD is 546lbs or so not including steering. With steering closure to 570lbs. Weight may also be dry. Still lighter than the 400r.
|
668 lbs. Dry
|
Which is 668 lbs. dry?
If a 4.6L V* is lighter then the small 400r Verado that is pretty impressive. What are the real weights of the 400R and the New V8's? |

It's not like the 400s are little. My son in this picture is over 6'3" and 250lbs. |

i still think that a supercharged V8 is the best platform to get Mercury to the next level of performance outboards. The inline-6 Is maxed out I think . |
