Thoughts on the new Mercury Racing 200R V6. An enthusiast performance outboard for smaller boats
I share my thoughts on the latest from Mercury Racing. The V6 is a high performance outboard loaded with features for smaller boats. Optional gearcases, solid mounts, a 6400 RPM range and more. The 3.4 liter Mercury based engine is a great start for a new generation of four stroke outboards.

    I’d say the 200R is making 220hp with its 6400rpm limit and the 225hp 4-stroke V6 is making less with its 6k rpm limit as there’s the 10% +/- rule on advertised power. Which is ridiculous with CG ratings as a boat rated for 175hp could actually have 192hp and a 200hp engine could only be making 180hp, but be illegal to run.

    Why not put the credits in the proper place? The Scorpion 21 is not a Linder design. The 21 Challenger is a Linder design. The Scorpion, like the Tuff's, is a from a mold taken from the 21 Challenger. Not sure what boat made the Scorpion mold, but the Tuff mold was pulled from a documentable 3 time record holding 21 Challenger that is sitting in my driveway. No intention to take away from all the work that went into the boat in the video but lets keep records straight.
