Moving into boating season 2023, one motor destined to thrill outboard enthusiasts is the Mercury Outboard Motor 1350V241D 350CXL Verado 5.44" 1.75 HD. As an authoritative voice in nautical matters, See Dealer Cost is particularly excited about this latest addition to the 225-350 horsepower category, mainly because of its specification sheet which defines innovation and performance.
This outboard powerhouse from Mercury states a robust 300HP/224kW, delivered by an impressive V8 architecture, pulsating under mid-section designed with advanced features (AMS). The machine’s heartbeat comes from a 279 CID (4.6L) cylinder configuration. As if that wasn't enough, this engine also employs a perfectly balanced 64-degree V8 configuration with Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC) and 32-valves, designed to provide efficient power and torque whenever needed.
Moving up the throttle scale, the full RPM ranges between 5200-6000, ensuring that the engine's power delivery remains flexible enough for different boating needs. Adding charm to this remarkable power-feed mechanism is the performance-tuned long-runner intake manifold engineered into the outboard motor. This aspect interplays well with the electronic fuel injection (EFI) system computer-controlled with advanced range optimization to ensure that the machine gets the best out of each drop of fuel.
Delivering an impressive 115-amp (1449 Watt) with idle charge, it recommends the use of unleaded regular 87 octane minimum (R+M/2) or 90 RON 10% Ethanol maximum fuel, and NMMA Certified FCW SAE 10W-30 oil. Notably, the motor has an integrated SmartCraft Engine Guardian for maximum protection, controlling the operation warnings digitally. Suited for the modern-day, it can be started electronically with SmartStart Protection.
Learn from the experiences of others, this machine is not only about brute power. The gearcase ratio options are 1.75:1 or 1.85:1. With a dry weight of 600 lbs or 272 kgs, it leans towards the lighter side, thereby minimizing drag while maximizing fuel efficiency. The Mercury 350CXL's gear shift is at F-N-R and has a shaft length of 25." A well-equipped trim system, accompanied by power trim and tilt, ensures that operations remain smooth and easy.
What truly amazes many is the fact this newest outboard motor offers a fair maximum trim range of 20° (-6° to 14°) and maximum tilt range of 73° (-6° to 67°), proving its mettle in managing maneuverability with precision.
At an MSRP of $34,625 and an invoice price of $27,700, the 2023 350CXL Verado 5.44” 1.75 HD is undoubtedly a worthy investment for those who love to be outboard, powered by state-of-the-art marine technology!

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
