And expensive. Too bad Mercury no longer makes lightweight performance outboards that don't break the bank.

If the Mercury V12 Outboard has a sustainable marketplace, then it surely is because of the Offshore applications.
Six old 1960's Inline 6 engines = the horsepower output of one behemoth V12 Outboard.
What an evolutionary record of technical achievement.

They have their place I guess. Only time will tell if they become the norm for bigger boats

I have been seeing them around Ft. Lauderdale on big center consoles and Formula cruising type boats. Right now their HP to weight ratio is way out of wack compared to an extra 450R for the same HP. However, I feel Mercury will have them pumping out 750HP sooner than later.
