It looks amazing!

Let’s be honest, 7marine, Indmar, illmor and other marine engine companies are only as good as what major OEM offer them to start with.

The LSA is a badass engine (happen to have an LSA car) so it’s near and dear to my heart. But once GM cancelled it, 7 marine needed to find a replacement. Perhaps the LT4 was not a great application for continuing with supercharged GM engines.

But a company like mercury builds their own engines, even came up with a near knockoff of a GM 6.2 LS cam in block overhead valve.

Indmar has flip flopped over the years from GM to Ford based on what the OEM’s are offering as a base engine.

The Raptor is a solid performer, but what is the next engine family coming? Back to GM, Godzilla, Could FCA Hemi go marine.....I mean the put a hellcat in everything lol

The more I read about the verado 600 the better it gets.

Considering this is a base verado, imagine what the mercury race version will put out.

Typically a supercharger will add 1.25 to 1.5x more power conservatively, somewhere between 750-900hp.

I really like how the whole engine doesn’t pivot, that alone will make boats handle better.
