mercury 400

[captainDH]

it's been leaked on the "non R" version, AKA mercury racing. now that the motor has proven it's reliability, mercury will have it in the recreational lineup, with 5 years warranty. the motor weighs the same as my current 2005 250 Verado, so that means you could hang the 400, run on regular Rec 90 fuel, another 150 HP with no penalty for increase in weight. my boat floats perfectly with the 250 now. this means we can run single 400 HP motors on a 23...
very interesting!

So does it come in standard 30 inch shaft. I am getting close to being done and I did my transom about 4 inches . I had a new Armstrong built I wonder if it will handle it

The 400 is still a wound up 2.6L verado that weighs 681LBS + fluids for a 25" version.

The naturally aspirated 4.6L v8 250/300 is much more appealing to me. The price is $10,000 less, 140lbs lighter (556lbs 25") than the 400, and the v8 250/300 runs on 87 vs 91.
