Mercury 450R vs 500R vs 400R
Hi!
I have a 450R 2021 model, and it is in its 4th season. The warranty expire spring 2026, and I am quietly looking at options for it. Either 400R or 500R. The price difference is approx USD 15,000 between the 400R and 500R. I have a 40 years old V hull that runs 94 mph on a good day with the 450R spinning a 27 pitch Max5 to 6300 rpms. We expect approx 91 mph with the 400R and 97-100 mph with the 500R depending on prop. I think I need to buy a 5 blade CNC cleaver to secure a safe ride with the 500R. And that prop is approx USD 3,500 more than a Max5.
Do you have any experience with the 400R / 450R / 500R engines. As far as I can see the V10 400R have a good punch and fuel milage
