I think they need to revamp the 60-150 lineup for the small fast boats!

Hey, brother I watched the release video of the MERCURY 500R All big dollar clientel most of them already had the 450R. if I had a dream boat choice It would be the MTI 34 or the fountain thundercat.

I had to chuckle when I saw those 4 and 6 OB engines on a boat. It reminded me of Indonesia where taxi boats look similar and some tourists really struggle when they have to climb over the transom. Most boats in around the 300hp range seem to top out or cruise at 25knots / 29mph /46km/h and the required power to overcome friction in a fluid increases to the power of three when you double the speed. Double the speed (i.e. 50knots) would require eight times the power (i.e. 2400hp or 6 engines of 400hp). Obviously it's more complicated than that and the hull plays a big role here as well.

While I understand the feeling behind the old adage, "There is no replacement for displacement, " I've lately been fascinated by the fact that toroidal propellers were invented. Doesn't the little German engineer in you just rejoice at the sheer efficiency of that design? But two counter-rotating toroidal propellers must be the epitome of quiet and smooth operation... Since noise and vibration is energy that isn't converted into thrust, the thought of it just delights that little German engineer in me. 😜 What do you think about those new propellers? I know it's not quite as simple as buying a generic one.

I would have loved to see a Evinrude G2 V8. I think it would have been pretty fast and tourqy.

When are we going to get another Boat of the Year video? Have not seen one since 2020.

Everyone’s losing their minds over these new Merc ob’s, but forgetting about 7 marine’s 627hp outboard which was released over 10 years ago. Basically a marine Corvette C6 ZR1 (supercharged) engine. Shame they discontinued it, but my point is that 500+ hp outboard are nothing new…

[markoneill]

I am thinking of a 500 R on a plate alloy 7.5 m centre console.. possibly a little over powered and still considering if it is the right match up.

[tomscott]

The "regular" version of the 600 V-12 is going for $110K, so this pricing (although high) is not out of line, especially when you consider the performance.

[jimmycline]

I would put one on my 20ft Bullet bass boat 🚤💨💨💨 My Mercury Sports XS 225 hp with sports master lower unit does 84mph, could you imagine a 500R 😍

[jacobfoster]

re; 34ft yacht short 4 months ago
what is the brand and model please ?

[szottmdodge]

Perfect for the 40 Invincible cat or the Freeman 42, 43 or 47 500x4

[FlyingFaroe]

Will mount twin 500R. On a Brim Boats Seawolf 825 :)

[rfree]

It may not be a production engine, but OMC still holds the record for fastest single outboard powered boat!

[michealgray]

I don't know if I can get away with twins on a 32 everglades but the f350c Yamahas are kinda a nightmare and id like to get more top-end out of the boat

[researchcapt]

Sure, but how long will it last given it is a Mercury?

[trentonbriones]

Do you think v10 merc is better for center console not for cats

[Joe-kxbl]

I’d put six of them on a 59' Tirranna from Cigarette

[rsdna]

"A company is planning to put a single 500R on a catamaran" Yeah that makes sense.

BTW Seven marine's 627 has issue with this video since you said most powerful outboard ever.

[chrisracer]

I would put them on a technohull rib, 3 of them can get you to 110 knots which is impressive! Now why rib? Here in Greece the weather is unpredictable!

[Jassman]

Id put the 500R on my 3 favorite outboard cats. Mystic Gen 2 C4000...DCB 37...OL 37....The wife wants me to get the Mystic M4200 with Quad 500's.
