Default Re: Big Verado on the way

I heard the 400hp years ago. [Before the 1st motor was released]I have a buddy that his cousion is a Merc Dealer. Merc has already done it in their testing.
The word was 400hp and 9000rpm and they couldn't blow it up.

ProLine boats tested a pair of Verado's rated at 350hp on a 34' sportfisherman concept hull with an 12' beam weighing almost 14K lbs. They claimed the two engines pushed that hull to "nearly" 40 mph. Same hull originally equipped with twin BB Chevy IB's rated at 420 hp only did 35 mph. The t/225 Johnson 2 strokes got a speed of 32 mph. I hear they're going to production with this hull in a twin O/B and twin diesel sterndrive config.
