Coming to a bass boat near you!

Mercury Marine unveiled the industry’s first-ever V10 outboard with the official launch of its all-new 5.7L 350 and 400-hp Verado outboard engines at a special media gathering this morning. Consistent with the award-winning Verado brand, the new V10 engines will be marketed as the quietest and smoothest in their class, running 45 percent quieter than a leading competitor at cruise.

Got to like quieter.

Wrench will love that Merc

I don’t know how they could be quieter.  At idle I have to look for the water stream to see if my Verado is running.

Just wait until the warranty expires.

Nothing is any quieter than a motor that won't run.

Actually that wasn't a fair statement that I just made.....

It'll probably still run, it just won't crawl out of the hole, or push a boat firmly onto a trailer anymore, and nobody (including factory techs) will be able to determine Why Not.......so they'll tell you to install a lower pitched prop.    Surely I don't have to tell ya how THAT works out.  🙄 

In this business I like HAPPY CUSTOMERS.......but when dealing with aging 4-strokes I just can't truly create any.   And neither can anybody else.

She’s going on 7 and hasn’t missed a lick.

Perfect time to sell it to the unbeknownst and buy a fresh one.

Jus'sayin'.

There are numerous NLA parts on a 8 year old Verado.
