Grads, you think Merc has a corner on the market for parts made from Unobatainium? You really believe that their engines, even the 1350 and 1650 quad cam have only the best of the best in them? Not even close!!!! The prices may reflect that, and you may think that, but that doesn't make it so.
When you get into the higher HP Mercs, their overhaul schedule IS NOT 300 hours. Think more like 50-60.
In the lower 565 and under, the power they make is nothing for an engine that size.

You started this thread with a question, and now you are an expert on the engines.
Stick to "look at me" and "look what I found" threads Grads.

I can't bring myself click on that.
Some years ago, when you googled Scat Crankshaft, the first website on the screen WAS NOT Scat engine crankshafts.
Our I.T. that had the job of fixing my computer at work called "getting hit by a pornado" I saw more in 30 seconds flashing on the screen than I ever care to see again.
Had a little bit of a time explaining to the boss how and why I was on a site that had that stuff and how I came to be on it.
Luckily, he has known Tom Lieb, the owner of Scat Crankshaft since they were teenagers and he kind of chuckled when I explained it to him.
It was not a pretty site

I have no clue what parts are in my motor nor do I really give a shit. What I care about is how fast my boat goes and how long the motor lasts. I'm the average buyer and that is why Mercury can charge what they do. That is why I'm looking for a Daytona with Mercury, Ilmor or Teague power.

So you think mercury has magical micrometers and Dial bore indicators that no other machine shop can get their hands on?

They have better flux capacitors.

Are looking at a boat with no engine? Is this why you're asking?

You are the life blood of Mercury, and they know there is no shortage of your kind. It built the company. I would never deny they did the job of getting that message across than the next guy.
They are the masters of marketing and I give them a AAA+ for it. I give them a B- for the product itself, and a C- for Bang for the buck.
But they are not magicians, and there is nothing magical coming out that place.

When you decide you want to get serious about the power in you motor boat Grads, you just hand me your wallet and credit cards, and we will go on a shopping spree and see want we can find that's in you price range. You may be surprised if it isn't BLUE!
We'll START here!
