Yep, what Gary said was a sweet setup. Merc has made an ton of cash off people buying new bravos a couple times a year, if they are running a bigger boat with some horsepower.The 3A and the #5 are great drives.

Basically a detuned 1075 engine, specs are:
557 CID tall deck
Dry sump
Distributorless ignition
850 HP
800 RPM idle
Full throttle range: 5500 - 5800 RPM
# 6 drive
Three stage sea pump: Two for block and heads, one for the charged air cooler
91 Octane. Can run on 87. PCM03 computer will cut power accordingly...
1720 Lbs...
180 day limited warranty for recreational boating
Pair of Lysholm twin screw supercharges and multiport fuel injection. Two injectors per cylinder..


No intermediate drive currently under development that they can talk about

Inside a new Top Gun

I imagine Beaucoup, Beaucoup Bux...

the one at the merc booth had brodix heads that had "sonny's"
cast on the heads in the back. are these one off heads? i've
never noticed that on other brodix heads. advertised 9.0 to 1
compression & 91 octane, must be low boost.

sonnys desinged the head for brodix brodix makes the head i went for two rides i the 32 skater with the 850s what a awsome package this thing flat out flew the boat is a cut down deck 32 and the tunnel is 8 inches wider 1/4 caonopys felt like a 36 the way it road that thing accelerated so hard it felt like a pro stock car alvin heathman is driving and throttling for test rides he is the won that won the worlds in in mocean this boat is over the top
