Mercury Racing 450R Photo Thread - Nashville On-Water Test

I'll be adding photos and videos to this thread as I go through them. The on-water test today was just incredible. I want to get media up here as fast as I can right now so a feature article will be forthcoming. The 450R press release is on the home page here.

Fun

In case anyone was struggling with the math 450x6=2,700...

Great pictures as always Greg!!!

awesome!!!

Very impressive 43 Formula. Faster than you think

Thank you :). I’ll have many more photos and video very soon. On my way back now and I felt I needed to make this post as we drive over this ODBA hallowed waterway that I know many of you here know all too well! Unfortunately it’s dark now so all I can offer is a screenshot of the navigation screen :D.

Very cool stuff!

Rumor is Mercury is testing this platform at a 900hp. I doubt they will release that. But I am certain at some point they will release even higher hp engines. A 4.6 Liter engine making 450 hp is somewhat conservative. I am sure I/O market is about dead.

So cool to see and hear Greg's excitement after a ride with Griff. He will confirm that these things get your attention in a big way...
