I'm a Mercruiser technician by trade. That is Mercruiser Racing's new motor. It's an all aluminum motor. Quad overhead cam, 4 valves per cylinder, twin turbo and intercooled.

Makes 1350 HP. They tried to break it on the dyno and couldn't. It is the first Mercruiser Racing engine to be offered with a warranty. It's got so much torque that the Mercruiser Racing #6 drives couldn't handle it, so they designed a new drive for this engine.

Each engine/drive package goes for about $235,000.

I wish I had that kind of money, but I do get to hang with guys that have that kind of money.

We've got guys in our area with poker run boats that are running over 170 MPH.
