BoatUS got a chance to check out the brand new Mercury V10 Verado outboards during recent a trip to Mercury's top-secret testing grounds on Lake X. What's so great about these new Verados, you might be wondering? Contributing editor Lenny Rudow was shocked at the get-up-and-go power behind these 350-hp and 400-hp outboards. The 5.7L V10 Verado outboards have an all-new lower unit for more lift and ability to spin a larger prop. This translated to nearly 70 mph IN A PONTOON carrying four passengers!!! In addition, these new powerplants have design tweaks that significantly reduce vibration and noise. It's not typical that you can comfortably hold a conversation over the roar of outboards at WOT -- and it's NOT even an electric powered boat!
