DO YOU KNOW WHATS OUT THEIR

HP1200 SCi

Overview

The all-new 1200 SCi is really a friendly monster. It just needs room to burn off its excess energy. The most powerful consumer sterndrive ever built by Mercury Racing shares all of the mild mannered running qualities as its 850 SCi and 1075 SCi siblings. It is docile around docks but ferocious once unleashed. The 1200 SCi gets its energy from the required high-octane race fuel. Think of it as a street legal race engine available to the masses. The 1200 SCi features a pair of Lysholm twin screw super chargers with multiport fuel injection (two injectors per cylinder). This combination provides sport boaters with turn-key starting, great overall running quality and incredibly smooth idle quality for a high horsepower big block.
Supercharger boost is variable. A boost bypass control valve, electronically activated by the PCM 07 microprocessor, continuously adjusts the amount of boost needed to provide consistent horsepower. Under optimum ambient conditions, the boost bypass control valve will open to adjust for the lowest boost required to obtain 1,200 horsepower.
Polished pulleys, clear anodized hose fittings, new graphics and our universal engine mount system packaged with the durable BAM Cyborg transmission and legendary dry-sump Six drive put the finishing touch on what is the ultimate in high performance sterndrive marine
The car companies make me laugh when they pump the public up on new engines when for years you could have bought whatever you wanted in a boat. A boat is the only thing you can buy new now with whatever engine you wan't. Just like the good ol days when you walked in an ordered a hemi Cuda.

The Price of the motor with a #6 drysump drive is enough to buy a small house!!!:eyecrazy:......but you can't take that house on the water at 100mph!:D
 
Depends on where you are looking at? I bought my house 2800 SqFt. with a spare lot for $170K. Want to buy a lot so I can buy a motor? :P
 
Heres 1300 hp with a #6 twin turbo 118mph!

I heard this boat was out run several times by another Checkmate and it was not near 118 I think it was more like 102-104. And from what I hear its pretty toasted looking under the hatch from all the heat. My source is concrete no B.S. It might run 118 but could not walk the walk when it was called out.
 
If that's the Kunkel's Convincor, I think it was radared at 108, if I'm not mistaken. :eyecrazy:

Damn that would hurt the wallet. But on the other hand it would only take 5 minutes to get from 1 end of the lake to the other. So I would only be running it 10 minutes a day :bigthumb:
 
The boat in question is check300's (or something like that) boat. I have been passed by it a couple times here in Michigan. Not a Kunkle Marine boat.
