Kicking Off the Season Out West
 
The Mercury Racing crew attended the 32^nd annual Lake Havasu Boat Show, April 14-16, where the new Mercury Racing V10 400R outboard and Ventera propeller debuted for the western performance boat audience. West Coast performance boat builders including DCB, Nordic, Advantage, Howard, Barron and many others displayed at the show, with Mercury Racing power predominate, including the 450R outboard and QC4 sterndrive engines.

Mercury Racing hosted a VIP customer reception on Friday showcasing the all-new V10 400R and a display of heritage engines celebrating the 50^th Anniversary of Mercury Racing. The Mercury Marine Hi-Performance Products Department was established in 1973 to provide amateur and professional boat racers with a complete marine racing center. Successive generations of outboard, sterndrive and performance products have served racers and passionate performance pleasure boaters. Today the Mercury Racing brand represents the pinnacle of marine power and performance.

Designed primarily to power performance center console boats and catamarans to speeds well beyond 75 mph, the Mercury Racing V10 400R offers more power and a higher RPM range than any outboard in this category. A new naturally aspirated V10 5.7-liter (349 CID) powerhead is based on the proven design architecture of the V8 4.6-liter Mercury Racing 300R model. The 64-degree powerhead maintains the compact width required for 26-inch center-to-center mounting on multi-engine transoms for seamless installations on new boats and repower applications. A host of exclusive Mercury Racing features further enhance the experience of piloting a Wide Open performance powerboat.
