600hp V12 Merc

[MarPar]

No, not that Mercury. lol

Instead of hijacking @Ghostrider 67 thread about staying home, I figured I would make a new thread.

I figure with all of us being gearheads here, it would have some interest. I get it, it's not the every-man's outboard; but ya gotta admit, it's bad-***.

600hp V-12 with a 2-speed transmission built in!! 0-30 in 8 seconds and a top speed of 60+ mph. I know 8 seconds doesn't sound like much, but when you are pushing 50,000#'s+...

77 large each.

How Much Does the Mercury V12 Verado 600 Cost?

This outboard beast boasts an array of innovative and intuitive features, but the potent engine in the Mercury Verado 600 doesn't come cheap.

I don’t like outboards. Seen too many get hurt cause the driver forgot to put it in neutral. A jet boat, the worst thing is it’ll suck up a rope.

If you want to get there fast take a Mercury. If you want to get home take a Yamaha.

This is the original video you saw in the other thread. I changed it shortly after I found the above video. I thought the second video had the dog in it, but alas it did not. Sorry for the confusion. I was posting whilst working. lol

I don't do boats, but pretty sure to Mercury, every motor they make is a race motor so it is worth at least 30K. 90% of the motor is plastic, including that new one that is 77k.

Would have been a much more stable if he put it on a 16' V-hull boat instead of a flat bottom.

I'm looking for a vintage Mecury "Tower of Power" for my boat.

• Gomer Pyle : [asked who else could fix Malcolm's car] My cousin Goober, that's who.
  Malcolm Tucker : He knows about motors?
  Gomer Pyle : He hopped up an old V8 engine, put it on his rowboat. That thing'll do eighty. Now that's fast on water.

I agree, that's bad-***! If it takes 3 or 4 of them to power one boat, that's bad. And, if you spend that much money, you're an ***.

 

[MarPar]

All righty then. I guess we can put this thread in the trash bin.
