Any chance one will be able to order this new engine with a 1.85 lower unit?

My guess is that something with resemblance will be in the consumer line up soon.

Says weight is 25lbs more than an optimax so that makes it’s weight at 525lbs correct?

No, believe this one should be ~460 as the 200 ROS was 435. The 175ProXS is 470, so thought the carbon fiber cowl and 12” LU would have saved more weight though.

The 360 app is in the mid 400's the 200 should be quite a bit lighter i think

Getting closer but still might be a tad heavy for most streams. Whos gonna hang one off a V-king or Vector first?

**Will hedrick** · 07-23-2021, 12:31 PM

I'm wanting that 360 to hang off my 02, baddd

Here we are again, speculating that mercury's weight numbers on their unobtanium engine are even remotely accurate. LOL

No.....if an OMC V-8 on a Valero or V-King floats then anything else will

550lbs on the V8 JohnRude yeah? It might float it but even my V6 merc out back with a jackplate borders on too heavy for a stream. 300hp@300lbs is what we need

Didn’t realize it was 430lbs dry, would make since the V6 should be around 35lbs lighter than the V8 given that’s the difference in the Pro XS models though not the sure the F1 and F2 engines are set up the same? What’s a legacy SST 120 weigh?

Really nice article, I tried to contact Shawn with no success... money not the issue, I would love one of those things still, if my 02 floated a g2 250ho, I might as well buy a Coffin with one of those 360s
