JOKER BOAT Clubman 22 Plus –4.2L V6 Yamaha 250hp
MARLIN BOAT 40 – 3 x 300hp 4.6L V8 Verados
Twin new Mercury’s 600hp - MAR.CO R-Evolution 36
Having been behind the steering wheel of Mar.co R-Evolution 36 several times in the past with various engine combinations, I cannot hide that I was surprised but also very curious when I informed that the two new Mercury 600hp engines had been mounted on its transom.
It was obviously an overpowered combination and I was expecting to see how the hull of the R-Evolution 36 Rib would handle the total 1200hp horsepower as well as the huge torque of Mercury's new 7.6L V12 outboard engines.
It may be the first time that these two powerful engines have been installed on such a "small" boat.
