Mercury 250hp V8 Verado

Northern Territory, one of the most remote fishing spots you’ll find. I run a 6.5m Northbank walkaround powered by a 250HP Mercury V8 Verado, doing around 700 hours a year and spending over 100 days on the water chasing everything from sailfish to long offshore missions. This setup delivers: Unreal performance – instant hole shot and strong torque Comfortable cruise around 27 knots, topping out over 40 knots Excellent fuel efficiency for long-range trips Super quiet V8 – surprises everyone onboard Key features that make a difference offshore: Sports mode for extra punch when needed Cruise control & fly-by-wire for smooth, easy driving VesselView for real-time fuel and engine data Quick-access service door for easy checks When you’re fishing remote and doing big miles, reliability and efficiency matter and this setup deliver. Simple verdict: powerful, refined, and built for serious fishing.
