Mercury Marine has announced the latest expansion of its Verado outboard lineup with the introduction of the all-new V10 425 hp Verado outboard and a performance enhanced version of the V10 350 hp Verado outboard.
Both models set new benchmarks for performance in the high-horsepower outboard segment, delivering exceptional power, acceleration, and fuel efficiency while continuing Mercury’s legacy for smoothness and quiet operation.
“These new V10 Verado engines reflect our commitment to giving boaters exactly what they’ve asked for: greater performance with the same smooth, refined experience they expect from Mercury,” said John Buelow, Mercury Marine president.
“With this launch, we’re raising the bar in the high-horsepower category and reaffirming the Verado family’s position as the pinnacle of premium outboard performance.”
All-New V10 425hp Verado
The new 425hp model delivers class-leading acceleration and significant weight advantages compared to a 450hp competitor. In Mercury’s testing, the 425 was:
3 seconds faster from 0-30 mph than a 450 hp competitor (on a 26-foot, 5,000-pound center-console boat with a heavy load)
254 pounds lighter than a 450 hp competitor (25-inch XL models)
Equipped with a 150-amp alternator – the highest output in its class
22% quieter at cruise than a 450 hp competitor
Enhanced V10 350hp Verado
The upgraded 350 hp model delivers impressive improvements in top-end speed and mid-range acceleration:
2.7 mph higher top speed than a 350 hp competitor (light load test configuration)
4 seconds faster from 0-30 mph and 17.8 seconds faster from 0 to top speed than a 350 hp competitor (heavy load test configuration)
Four times the alternator output at cruise compared to a 350 hp competitor
40% quieter at cruise than a 350 hp competitor
15% quicker 0-50 mph acceleration than Mercury’s current 350 hp model thanks to enhanced mid-range torque
Built for Repower and New Builds Alike
Built on Mercury’s compact V10 platform, both engines offer 26-inch center-to-center mounting, making them ideal for repowering boats originally rigged with L6 Verado or competitive outboards.
Digital Throttle & Shift is standard on the new 425 hp and enhanced 350 hp Verado outboards, which also offer available Joystick Piloting for exceptional control and precision. The new outboards, along with the current 400 hp model, are now available through Mercury dealers and Repower Centers. You can get the first look at the new 425 Verado in the video below:
