Bit of power

For those who like a bit of hp ...... the new V12 Mercury engines push it out for sure.

600hp in an outboard is a lot of houses.
The test boat shown with 4 x 600hp is more money than I could ever contemplate.

An interesting read!
The fuel figures made me choke on a mouthful of tea!! :o :o
I doubt I will ever be in a position to spend £77k on a whole boat let alone just an engine!! :lol: .

I’m sure local Merc dealer would love the call .... can I book boat in for servicing ... imagine the cost for 4 x 12 cylinders
I do like that they have automatic geared lower units.... does make more sense. Imagine driving your car round in 1st gear.
