My guess is so for that new toy you are building Bullhead.
I assume it's a 450 but would not be surprised to see Merc do some interesting marketing by calling it something like a 452 or 455 or something.

they are coming up with a wakeboard boat and engine - new state of the art but I do not think that news is tomorrow. But its coming.
Not joking its coming but have no idea of the date. The Brunswick line of boats with I/O and inboards are at an all time low for new sales. Like so low that it does nt even cover lite bill. And wake boats are killing it and their is only about 8 wake boat builders.
Malibu has their OWN in house engines / building and projected builds for 2019 is 6 K engines. Heck Mercruiser does not even sell that many I/O s period anymore and how many boat brands do they own ?. They have to do something instead of sitting back and watching all the wake boat sales and those engines packages.. They have ZERO market share for that industry. ZERO not even one in the current wake boat market.
If I had to guess Sea Ray the largest name in boating by far. Prob for 2019 - new sales with an I/Os has not even sold 300 boats. Prob not even 200 new boats. That company is dead
