It’s 35 lbs. (16 kg) lighter -- 600 lb. (272 ks.) rather than 635 lbs. (288 kgs.) -- than the previous-generation Mercury Verado 300, which was an inline-6 configuration. The company says the naturally aspirated Verado will provide smooth, quiet power and optimize fuel economy. The powerhead is a large-displacement designed for more power and greater low- and mid-range torque, and for better acceleration. The new Verados are available in 250- and 300-horsepower ratings.
