Sneak Peek: First Mercury Racing 300R V-8 Outboard-Powered MTI 340X

[Speed on the Water]

With its new Mercury Racing 300R outboard engines, this MTI 340X sport cat is almost ready to rock, https://speedonthewater.com/in-the-...-340x-meets-mercury-racing-300r-v-8-outboards.

That's some pretty good speed for an engine that is supposedly 100HP per side less than the 400 Verado, and it's on the rec-limiter? Especially since the 340X went 116 with the 400's in their test at LOTO after some dialing in.

I's sure like to see side by side prop-shaft dyno comparisons of the two engines. Same dyno in a controlled environment.
