It’s a 6.2 liter v8 block that shares rods,pistons with their 4.5 liter V6.

4.0” bore and 3.75” stroke

GM 6.2l is 4.065 bore and 3.66 stroke

true but the mercruiser is a chevy knockoff. I know it's "different" but after using chevy products for years and years, they knew enough where to start and changed the bore/stoke enough to avoid patent lawsuits and removed all the emissions/direct injection crap that's not needed. guessing it also made them more profit not paying gm upcharge for blocks anymore.

Don't forget about Ilmore which makes some of MC's engines. GM based inboards.

Could this not mean a stalemate in motor improvements though?
PCM vs Indmar were the main competitors. I feel like maybe not at first but after some years there will be no need to improve they have the market fairly locked down.
I don't see mercruiser coming out with a 600Hp motor unless it is that 8.2L V8 but MPG would be laughable I would guess

The only advantage I could see is if you could option Indmar or PCM in your boat but I don't see that happening either
