OK, who is going to try it out first on a seacraft hull? (mercury 400hp outboard)

7 marine is far beyond 400 hp in its outboards but I'm not sure how close to 500 lbs they are. My only concern for the Mercury is that the versions sold during the first 2 years of production will require 6 years of warranty and a new power head every 8 months. That is if it follows the path of of the opti and the verado.

Very true, Mercury tends to let the public do their r&d. Should be more affordable than the 7 but not cheep by my standards.
