That’s pretty sick! 20lbs more for the sporty that’s a lot of beef. Wonder why so much more weight between the two? 6400rpm with a 1.75 sounds pretty incredible. With a good 32 hooked up that’s over a hundred mph potential. On 87 octane too with ethanol too.
Damn. Mercury finally answering the call here. 19 spline lower unit shaft.
if I ditch my jack plate this would only be about 40lbs more weight than my 2.5 set up is right now. I’ll be looking close at one of these well done MercHydrostream dreamin

I am looking at the specs. it looks like the 200 can come with either a torque master or a Sport master gearcase in 20" 1.75 ratio in RH only. But the 150R only comes with a 4.8 gearcase in both 20" and 25". 1.85 ratio. Counter rotation available. No Torquemaster or Sportmaster available.

Was hoping to see them make it a 225 to match the highest mercury 3.4 platform and the same 66hp/l as the 300r, but it could be a pretty compelling option on 20ft boats. Will be interested to see what the CARB dyno sheets read, 220hp?

Being a four stroke this would be a piece of cake to stuff a Holley HP on this thing and mod til your blue in the face. The hard part ( read that as the expensive part ) would be the camshafts. I’m sure you could regrind them but figuring out the lobe and the core and so on is going to be work.
These are built for 87 with 10% eth so even shaving the heads and doing a fancy valve job and some pocket porting along with a tune there’s got to be 25-50hp to be had doing that.
for a small boat like mine I don’t think any of that is nec if it spins that rpm using the extra torque the four smoke has and will turn bigger props to the limiter? WinningHydrostream dreamin

Wonder how the 200 or 225 would compare to a 225 Sport XS Optimax... just thinking, any idea on the $$$?

I sit corrected, I never thought we would see these engines. It would be interesting to see a comparison on a boat between the new 200 and my 200XS

489 lb dry with a Sportmaster - is it ratcheting? Add in 13 lb of oil and it's 502 lb. Just about the same as a 300XS two stroke, and quite a bit more than the claimed weight of the 200XS ROS. In my dreams someone will test one on a 20' Allison and on a 20' Tuff.
The 150 gearcase is 4.8". That's very wrong for my SS2000.

Wish it was 8" shorter so I didn't have to muck around extending ski poles.

Cool but.. Way too heavy for only 200HP that is not tunable like a SHO and I'm assuming it has the same Sportmaster as the new v8 Mercs? So gigantic and has to be run way out of the water?
I know that weight is without oil.. But is it without the cowl and without a prop too? I bet it is.
My E-Tec is 3.4L, 16" shorty mid and carbon cowl weighs 485LBS including the cowl, stainless prop, oil in gearcase, hydraulic steering installed, fuel system full and ready to run... It also makes about 100 more HP...
But it also eats the #5 piston every 10-30 HRS and I cant figure out why so.. Not gonna lie.. Still tempted by this new Merc offering.
