Based on what I've heard that's probably for real. If the 400R street price is around $27K I can't imagine what they want for the 500R........

Sounds like they may be chasing Biggie and Tupac right into the land of ultimate bling

I've confirmed these motors with two different sources - these motors are for real. I don't know how soon they will be released, but they'll be released in the not-so-distant future.

if it's for real, that's impressive. Now we are talking...500hp in 700-800lbs. unit is more like it than the 200-300hp models.
Kinda makes me wonder if it's gonna be built off the same 2.6L I6 supercharged platform....kinda pushing it.Mirage Jaguar RiverRacer

I'm pretty certain the 500R will be the same 2.6 Verado platform that weighs right at 700#s (with Mercury Racing installed wingplate). They need to offer a 1.62 gear ratio now, as the speeds some boats will be capable of will need the taller gear.

I would be surprised to see them come out with a completely new platform for these 450-500 motors.

Now that the big cats (35-40) are going to able to run 120 mph and do it with basically no maintenance or fuel cost compared to a blown or turbo big block, transmission, and speedmaster, there are going to be big budget guys coming into what was the little guys market. These are guys that have a 100K in propellers, are used to 25K repair and or maint. bills, and have paid 200K for an engine and drive package in the past. So whatever the price tag is, it won't give someone at this level sticker shock and they are going to love the simplicity of performance boating. It doesn't matter how much money you have "breaking sucks" especially when you are at an event that requires travel time to attend and that is what will drive this product. The bright side of this for the small guy is that another great used boat market is headed our way....

I still have zero interest in them. Might be nice to have a pair on a huge tri toon.
