It's not meh but it takes a truck load of parts to achieve what is easily possible with modern two-stroke technology at substantially less everything except performance. You know it , a bigger displacement V6 or even better a V8 would rip that blower.
But still a great achievement for Merc

Man, would I love to see a Checkmate Pulsare 2400 with a 450R on the back! That would certainly bring the 24' Mate into the 100MPH realm...

Nearly 3 decades later and we're finally approaching the power to weight of a 300 drag, double the weight, 100 times as many moving parts, a gear case a foot wide that needs $5000 props. And people are impressed, I don't get it.

I believe that would depend on where they manufacture and produce the parts and the gouge they choose to lay down on the consumer to pad the profit margin. Has it been determined where the majority of parts in this blower motor are manufactured, country of origin not country of assembly? One OEM always tries to undercut the competition.

There is diminishing returns with cylinder displacement so i don’t think it would be proportional. I do think it’s pretty safe to say that they could build 4.3 liter v8 2-stroke at 400 hp and probably 575-600 lb. it would need the “gearcase a foot wide” as well if you want reliability. But I think what most neigh-sayers are missing is that price, weight, and power aren’t the only things that matter. Not even close. There was a time when I didn’t get that either.
