Mercury Racing 4 Strokes

[K-DAWG]

Weight and price is the big questions. Not sure mercury cares much about our little slice of the pie. Racing division seems to be focusing on big multi engine boats and regular mercury will supply 225s for bass boats. May leave a big hole that forces folks to look in other directions.

^^This^^ They don't seem to have our market in mind so much as the big offshore boats. That is where the money is these days. Not that I am a buyer if there is, just saying this has been the trend with Mother Mercury the last 15-20 years.

I think i would cater to the guy buying 4 motors more than the guy buying 1. Maybe the v6 will kick up to 250 and the v8 will be 250 and rev higher.

If they offer a 250 V6 @475 lbs with 7200 rpms AND a 250 V8 @500+ lbs and 6,000 rpms it would be a tough decision. Are they going to make us think this hard?

If they offer that setup and anything like a sporty or conversion, I'd be looking to sell a brand new 300XS Racing engine.

Everything I hear says you will forget all about the looks once you feel the power

I probably will not be able to upgrade immediately but it won't be because I don't want to!!!

The V-8 would have considerably more displacement = more torque. The max HP on either would be limited to 250 + tolerance, but the low end and mid-range power will go to the V-8 in a big way.

Its already come out, kind of. I've seen a pic of the new 250 Pro XS and its the V8. No news but I would guess it is going to be heavier than the 2 stroke. It is going to be offered from 250 to ? horsepower, maybe 450.

505lbs

If it is based on the 3.4L V6 and is a modular engine it will be 50-70lbs more then the V6 which is 475Lbs. Rumor is 550lbs. IMO it may require lithium's for this application.

SO Yamaha has a big release coming the 22nd. Wonder what it could be?

Factory nizpro?

Factory nizpro?

The fellas at Hydrotec turned down a dealer option from nizpro. Wonder if that's why?

The 250 Pro XS 4 Stroke V8 only weighs 5 pounds more than the 2 Stroke Pro XS from my understanding.

[fishnfireman]

I hope that is correct.. Guess it all goes public soon.

So in the video there is a 300 ProXS and a 300R from the racing division. Wonder what this means?

From the writing on the back of the 250R and 300R, it looks like those still say "verado." I would guess the 300 pro xs is going to be just like the pro xs engines are now. Pro xs will be the same block as the stock engine, but come with solid motor mounts and more RPM's. We shall see, can't wait to see finalized weight specs. Really wish they would put some boost on the 3.4.

[Sports1]

Actually it looks to be the same weigh as the Pro XS 2 Stroke at 505 pounds.
