It is way too heavy for the power output it generates. It costs way more than any other motor configuration with the same hp. Do you really think anyone will be spending all that extra money for the same output as other, cheaper, and more reliable options? I'm guessing you aren't smart enough to even attempt to research the rebuild times on this motor! You need to add that to the cost of this ridiculous motor!
I'm convinced more so then ever, aspiration folks from anywhere on Earth can come and make it in Biden's America and with just a few short years of good honest elbow grease and optimism will soon find themselves in the touring boat of their dreams being driven by this high priced technology. /sarc
Outboard motors has always been super expensive I had a 1971 20 hp Johnson they cost $545 And bought it brand new and Everglades city well my grandmother bought it
Development, manufacturing, facilities, and unforseen cost overruns are all an investment that will be, must be actually recovered or Mercury won't be with us long. Now 600 hp in a marine operating environment, in outboard configuration. Naturally aspirated power plant, understressed for reliability at sea. Those who do venture into tweaking camshaft profiles head work, tunes even supercharging is inevitable surely Mercury Marine designed this Power plant for different levels of performance.... But reliability is everything or this is a failed project. The engines cost should fall as time goes on. But will never be inexpensive. Into automobile pricing for comparison 77k for 600 merc. Entire drive train and steering function. Big Blocks from any of the Big 3 would need to be built to the hilt and at higher engine stresses. $25,000 then your trans 6k +, drive line, rear end all the way to back tires. Then throw in the steering system of the car......you are kissing $50,000. If unfortunately you experience mechanical failure in a car or truck..... you can call or walk for help. While failures at sea pose a different set of problems. The consumer purchasing a craft large enough to support for just one of these outboards won't be put off by price.

yeah the 2.5l can got 450 hp, CRT makes 2.5L, 3.5L and 4.0L with latter going to over 650 hp. So 2 4l CRT's mounted together makes a 8L 2 stroke v12. somehow the block and cranks are mounted or welded together. the most modular 2 stroke ever is detroit diesel as the v6 and v8 blocks can be mounted together along with the crankshafts couple together, ie 2 8v92 make a 16v92, i got a silver 8v92 out back and a omc small block 4L v8 johnson side oiler v8. Now since the merc's ans CRT v6's 2 stroke are 60 deg block a mini napier deltic like OP 2 stroke could be formed from 3 v6 billet Al blocks! A 3.2 stroke 300sx in 3160cc and 3 of the could for a 9,480 9.48L mini deltic 2 stroke OP engine with custom ductile iron uni-flow ported liners! this 2 stroke would look like hell hanging off the transom but would gine around 990 hp a piece (330hp * 3). the sound would be insane!

Check the rebuild requirement directly at Mercury Racing. $30k at 250 hours. No dealer work. You have to remove the engine from the boat, ship it to them in a special crate they send you and they ship it back. "Same for the 1350 but thats only at 20 hours." OMG Deep pockets required.
so they have a racing version of this already or are you talking about this one specifically? because it isnt even supposed to have its first major service until 1k hours. let alone a rebuild.
@@TechnikMeister2 - that’s just a straight up lie that the 600 Verado requires you to spend $30K at 250 hours. Mercury specifies 200 hour regular maintenance intervals on the 600 Verado, and at the 1000 hour service interval you have to remove the cowl.
The 1350 is definitely a Racing product. This 600 Verado is NOT a racing product. There is NO requirement to ship the motor to Mercury Racing in Wisconsin for service or overhauls. I’m sure that the Mercury dealers in Australia would be equally stunned by your crazy talk.
It is an extremely well designed yacht. It is clearly evident that this boat was built with these motors in mind. It ran so smoothly and quietly, even at top speed. Doing 55mph turns seemed like we were going much slower. Luxurious speed and power. The 500 SSC is an ultimate day or weekend cruiser with all kinds of thoughtful, practical and luxurious features.

They need to build a W formation engine to cut that weight back for us crazy guys and gals that want big power on a small boat. Or another thought: Have you ever considered a verticle mounted wankle engine? Power to weight ratio of a 2 stroke, Efficency of a 4 stroke.
@@petersouthernboy6327 I know that was a bit of a stretch, but my thoughts actually were that they would be efficient enough for outboard use. That the standards for an outboard would be less than the standards of an auto. Secondly with all the advanements in metallurgy and sealing materials, The word is that wankles have become much better than ever. In any event, I would love to see them used/tried in outboard production.
@@teresapeabody2746 - there’s a Wankel kart engine made by the German firm Aixro. It’s very cool and powerful but it doesn’t fit into any competition class that I know of. The original Wankel rotary in the Mazda’s were getting 17mpg City / 20mpg highway in small cars - so as you can see they aren’t as efficient as modern four strokes.
@@teresapeabody2746 - the combustion chamber for the Wankel moves - it’s part of the rotor lobe! This long, thin, moving combustion chamber could never completely burn all the fuel - Mazda tried a second, trailing spark plug but it only partially improved the combustion. The second problem with the rotary are the apex seals. You’re right - ceramic seals are an improvement. But in order to get them to last; Mazda had to resort to injecting motor oil directly into the combustion chamber. This oil burning caused the engine to build up carbon over time. It also killed emissions.
Mercury please build a 300hp DIESEL, The tax on gas doubles the price in NZ,O wait our market is too small ! Hope me extinct Etec keeps going, but congrats MERCURY number 1 on the water!!
It’s a very small number of people that will pay twice the price for a diesel. Mercury did make an Optimax derivative for the military that was designed to burn JP-4 or diesel fuel but it wasn’t a true diesel motor. There’s a European Company that makes a 300 diesel outboard - but it’s crazy heavy and is at least twice the price of a 300 four stroke gas outboard.
Yea, yea yea, nice engine but really, one will do, why do you need four? Here we are running out of fuel and there's you putting 2 fingers up to the rest of us.

Mercury has certainly put a lot of eggs in one basket with this one. As the saying goes - "there's no replacement for displacement" - gotta like the way Mercury thinks. But this motor is definitely made for the super rich and not the average Joe, so they're gonna need to sell a few in order to see a return on investment. Sadly, we live in a world where government regulation is changing what is acceptable when it comes to burning old dinosaurs, so this motor, as innovative as it is, may not have the longevity that Mercury was hoping for when they began designing it. I'm not sayin' that ICE's are going away, but I think manufacturers will eventually be forced to consider electric motors for marine applications as the EPA tightens its noose on the marine industry. I hope Mercury is thinking about that possibility as well.

And two 600’s will give about 20% better cruise economy than triple 400’s. There is substantial drag with having triple or quint lower units.

@@charlieodom9107 - please understand that the offshore Center Console market has been the only double digit growth segment in the entire marine industry since 2008. I completely agree with your assessment of the Mercury 400 and Mercury Racing 450R. And those work magic on many Center Consoles. But in the past several years there has been a growing trend towards larger Center Consoles that are really more like luxury express cruisers. We’re talking 30K to 45K pound boats designed for outboards. These are well into seven figure boats. And having 4 to 6 outboards is not very efficient in terms of hydrodynamic drag and transom space.
DO NOT BUY A MERCURY OUTBORD MOTOR!!!!!!!! THEY COST LESS UP FRONT BUT THEN YOU TAKE IT IN THE ASS FOR THE REST OF THE TIME YOU OWN IT. Do you think there might be a reason why the United States Coast Guard, Vessel Assist and Tow Boat USA almost exclusively use Honda and Yamaha engines????? It sure as hell isn't because those brands are cheaper. It's because when you buy a marine engine you want it to work. Mercury dropped the ball a long time ago on: RELIABILITY RELIABILITY RELIABILITY WARRANTY SERVICE I've been in the business for 30 years and Mercury makes garbage outboard engines and their customer service is also garbage. The information is out there if you want it. Almost no one uses these engines commercially and if they do they QUICKLY regret it.

The math is . Way too much much for the average boater. When own a 16 foot aluminum boat with a trailer that has seen better days. 77 thousand bucks is a lot of money.
@@assassinlexx1993 are you a complete dumbass? You didn't even read my comment, did you?
You can outfit a boat with triple 400r outboards for under 100 grand. A pair of these cost over 150 grand! If you passed 3rd grade math, you would understand that my original comment was saying how stupid this 600hp outboard is!
How about some civilized conversation? A 450r runs ~$55k and they seem to sell fairly well at only 50 hp more than a 400, which costs much less. The great thing about a free market economy. If you don’t think it is a value, don’t but it. Also doesn’t seem to make sense to price a 300 hp outboard compared to a 400hp outboard so it doesn’t seem logical to compare a 400 hp to a 600hp. Options in the market are a good thing. I hope people that find an application and value in a 600 Verado enjoy them!
The only problem that I would have is that I like to see the engine angle so I know where it’s angled just by looking at it
If your putting 600hp Mercs on your boat you'll have the extra budget for a joystick system that allows you to dock without an issue.
@@Tyler-kw9ce true
@@itsCN but I agree. Docking with the wheel would be tough. I've always looked back at the outboard while docking or trailering. Mercury is definitely separating themselves from the others with their new innovations.
@@Tyler-kw9ce yea definitely
If you are driving around looking at your outboards, then you shouldn't be allowed to drive a boat!!!

Why can’t they make outboards more affordable. I’m sure these can argue a high price point but they all are super expensive
Possibly because they don't have to. Boats are rich peoples toys often, and they can afford it. Commercial users will have diesel inboards or smaller outboards.
But I love the verado supercharger sound
Yup our 627s will be replaced hopefully this coming month. I can’t wait.

People say “omg 1 engine”......it has a 2 speed transmission at the bottom too. The performance is bridging the gap into “worth it” territory with cheaper maintenance as well. This will be changing yacht design. A 35’ boat will get an extra cabin due to these.
No they won't!!! Boats built with outboards instead of inboards are the exact same boat. They do nothing to utilize the cavern left from removing the engines.

Why so expensive? Is only 600hp... 77k for an engine is a tall order.
Outboard motors has always been super expensive I had a 1971 20 hp Johnson they cost $545 And bought it brand new and Everglades city well my grandmother bought it
Development, manufacturing, facilities, and unforseen cost overruns are all an investment that will be, must be actually recovered or Mercury won't be with us long. Now 600 hp in a marine operating environment, in outboard configuration. Naturally aspirated power plant, understressed for reliability at sea. Those who do venture into tweaking camshaft profiles head work, tunes even supercharging is inevitable surely Mercury Marine designed this Power plant for different levels of performance.... But reliability is everything or this is a failed project. The engines cost should fall as time goes on. But will never be inexpensive. Into automobile pricing for comparison 77k for 600 merc. Entire drive train and steering function. Big Blocks from any of the Big 3 would need to be built to the hilt and at higher engine stresses. $25,000 then your trans 6k +, drive line, rear end all the way to back tires. Then throw in the steering system of the car......you are kissing $50,000. If unfortunately you experience mechanical failure in a car or truck..... you can call or walk for help. While failures at sea pose a different set of problems. The consumer purchasing a craft large enough to support for just one of these outboards won't be put off by price.

Everyone with Mercury racing 450hp outboards: “Bruhh”
nahh. these are way to heavy for people with 450r's on a light boat to worry about.
yeah the 2.5l can got 450 hp, CRT makes 2.5L, 3.5L and 4.0L with latter going to over 650 hp. So 2 4l CRT's mounted together makes a 8L 2 stroke v12. somehow the block and cranks are mounted or welded together. the most modular 2 stroke ever is detroit diesel as the v6 and v8 blocks can be mounted together along with the crankshafts couple together, ie 2 8v92 make a 16v92, i got a silver 8v92 out back and a omc small block 4L v8 johnson side oiler v8. Now since the merc's ans CRT v6's 2 stroke are 60 deg block a mini napier deltic like OP 2 stroke could be formed from 3 v6 billet Al blocks! A 3.2 stroke 300sx in 3160cc and 3 of the could for a 9,480 9.48L mini deltic 2 stroke OP engine with custom ductile iron uni-flow ported liners! this 2 stroke would look like hell hanging off the transom but would gine around 990 hp a piece (330hp * 3). the sound would be insane!

Check the rebuild requirement directly at Mercury Racing. $30k at 250 hours. No dealer work. You have to remove the engine from the boat, ship it to them in a special crate they send you and they ship it back. "Same for the 1350 but thats only at 20 hours." OMG Deep pockets required.
so they have a racing version of this already or are you talking about this one specifically? because it isnt even supposed to have its first major service until 1k hours. let alone a rebuild.
This is NOT a Mercury Racing product. Put down the pipe.
@@petersouthernboy6327 Wrong...at least down here in Australia it is MR product to get around the statutory 5 year warranty requirement.
@@TechnikMeister2 - that’s just a straight up lie that the 600 Verado requires you to spend $30K at 250 hours. Mercury specifies 200 hour regular maintenance intervals on the 600 Verado, and at the 1000 hour service interval you have to remove the cowl.
The 1350 is definitely a Racing product. This 600 Verado is NOT a racing product. There is NO requirement to ship the motor to Mercury Racing in Wisconsin for service or overhauls. I’m sure that the Mercury dealers in Australia would be equally stunned by your crazy talk.

What were you thinking?!?!
I have 30lbs Electric outboard
They need to build a W formation engine to cut that weight back for us crazy guys and gals that want big power on a small boat. Or another thought: Have you ever considered a verticle mounted wankle engine? Power to weight ratio of a 2 stroke, Efficency of a 4 stroke.
Wankels didn’t have “all” of the efficiency of a four stroke. They never had the combustion efficiency for emissions or fuel economy standards.
@@petersouthernboy6327 I know that was a bit of a stretch, but my thoughts actually were that they would be efficient enough for outboard use. That the standards for an outboard would be less than the standards of an auto. Secondly with all the advanements in metallurgy and sealing materials, The word is that wankles have become much better than ever. In any event, I would love to see them used/tried in outboard production.
@@teresapeabody2746 - there’s a Wankel kart engine made by the German firm Aixro. It’s very cool and powerful but it doesn’t fit into any competition class that I know of. The original Wankel rotary in the Mazda’s were getting 17mpg City / 20mpg highway in small cars - so as you can see they aren’t as efficient as modern four strokes.
@@teresapeabody2746 - the combustion chamber for the Wankel moves - it’s part of the rotor lobe! This long, thin, moving combustion chamber could never completely burn all the fuel - Mazda tried a second, trailing spark plug but it only partially improved the combustion. The second problem with the rotary are the apex seals. You’re right - ceramic seals are an improvement. But in order to get them to last; Mazda had to resort to injecting motor oil directly into the combustion chamber. This oil burning caused the engine to build up carbon over time. It also killed emissions.
Mercury please build a 300hp DIESEL, The tax on gas doubles the price in NZ,O wait our market is too small ! Hope me extinct Etec keeps going, but congrats MERCURY number 1 on the water!!
There is already a big diesel outboard on the market. And it is very expensive and very heavy.
It’s a very small number of people that will pay twice the price for a diesel. Mercury did make an Optimax derivative for the military that was designed to burn JP-4 or diesel fuel but it wasn’t a true diesel motor. There’s a European Company that makes a 300 diesel outboard - but it’s crazy heavy and is at least twice the price of a 300 four stroke gas outboard.
A large engine with a small propeller is a waste of horse power needs a bravo 2 prop
Yea, yea yea, nice engine but really, one will do, why do you need four? Here we are running out of fuel and there's you putting 2 fingers up to the rest of us. I have a 210hp diesel, it pushes my boat at 32kts and I really don't see much need for more, that is unless you feel getting somewhere 5 minutes earlier is that important.

Mercury has certainly put a lot of eggs in one basket with this one. As the saying goes - "there's no replacement for displacement" - gotta like the way Mercury thinks. But this motor is definitely made for the super rich and not the average Joe, so they're gonna need to sell a few in order to see a return on investment. Sadly, we live in a world where government regulation is changing what is acceptable when it comes to burning old dinosaurs, so this motor, as innovative as it is, may not have the longevity that Mercury was hoping for when they began designing it. I'm not sayin' that ICE's are going away, but I think manufacturers will eventually be forced to consider electric motors for marine applications as the EPA tightens its noose on the marine industry. I hope Mercury is thinking about that possibility as well.

And two 600’s will give about 20% better cruise economy than triple 400’s. There is substantial drag with having triple or quint lower units.

@@charlieodom9107 - please understand that the offshore Center Console market has been the only double digit growth segment in the entire marine industry since 2008. I completely agree with your assessment of the Mercury 400 and Mercury Racing 450R. And those work magic on many Center Consoles. But in the past several years there has been a growing trend towards larger Center Consoles that are really more like luxury express cruisers. We’re talking 30K to 45K pound boats designed for outboards. These are well into seven figure boats. And having 4 to 6 outboards is not very efficient in terms of hydrodynamic drag and transom space.
