The electric vehicle revolution has taken a stronghold on the automotive world, but not the marine world
When the first generation Verado launched in 2004 it was new in every way. Not only was it a four stroke, it was a supercharged 2.6L inline 6 cylinder
When it comes to boats it’s really easy to make fun of brands like Bayliner, but if you go back to the origins of the company, you’ll find the story of a brand that was built on expert manufacturing and design prowess, with a true visionary at the helm who built an empire that eventually helped Brunswick Corporation become the marine powerhouse that it is today.
Although we've done some testing and talked about the Allison Grand Sport quite a bit, we haven't examined the features of the 150 Mercury four stroke too closely, and we wanted to show the ProXS motor mount install.
We made a video taking a closer look at the Allison Grand Sport. There are quite a few unique features and designs in the 20’ hull.
his is a summary of our latest testing of the Allison Grand Sport, with our Project 150 Mercury four stroke. Let’s call it a backyard 150R
Since we are now in 2019, let’s take a look at, and rank the most innovative outboard engine companies of the year, what they can do better, and look ahead at what we might see this year.
On paper, this looks like an odd combination. Take Mercury Marines stock four stroke 150 HP, and pair it with one of the fastest sport boats ever made. But, when you really think about it, the Allison Grand Sport was built to be efficient, not just the fastest.
After much anticipation, Mercury Racing has introduced two new outboards that replace the long running 250XS and 300XS. Based off the Mercury Marine V8 Four Stroke technology, these engines differentiate in a few key areas.
Even though most performance boaters are looking for the most power possible on their hull, I get more excited about balance and efficiency.
In this episode of Project Activator we talk about some of the engines available and narrow it down to three choices.
In a launch that was much anticipated, Mercury Marine delivered an all new 3.4 V6 outboard in the 175, 200 and 225 horsepower range.
In every industry there are pioneers, inventors and hawkers but the real changemakers are the ones that are revolutionists. They are seldom the first in any given arena but they are the first to repurpose, reinvent and create markets that weren’t realized before. Carl Kiekhaefer was a revolutionist engineer that used his passion for engineering, competitiveness and salesmanship to change the marine industry.
