The 2023 Mercury Outboard Motor 12250036A 225L SeaPro DTS 5.44" 1.75 represents a stunning blend of power, efficiency, and ingenious design within the category of 225 - 350 Horsepower. As an avid marine enthusiast, this particular offering from Mercury Outboard Motors captured my attention, not just because of its impressive specs, but also due to the innovative features that it houses under its sleek Phantom Black exterior.
The agenda behind Mercury's approach is clear- to deliver uncompromised power and performance in demanding marine environments. The engine type of this model is V8, ensuring robust and robust performance. The robust V-8 DOHC engine with 32-Valves provides an impressive 225 horsepower and a thunderous torque, all while maintaining commendable fuel efficiency, thanks to it's advanced range optimization.
Much to my appreciation, Mercury has incorporated smart technology in this model with the SmartCraft Engine Guardian system offering advanced engine protection features and SmartCraft PCM 112 digital inductive ignition. The model also comes with an electric start with SmartStart protection, adding a layer of ease and convenience to the operation.
Let's not forget the power trim and tilt system, which enhances boat control and promotes optimal performance in all boating conditions. The inclusion of Hydraulic steering, which could be optionally upgraded to Power steering or the Big Tiller, promotes greater steering control and maneuverability.
What also grabs my attention is Mercury's attention to ensuring a smooth and efficient running, with features like the performance-tuned long-runner intake manifold, water-cooled cooling system, and integrated wet sump lubrication system. The gear shift is simple: Forward-Neutral-Reverse (F-N-R), with a gearcase ratio of 1.75:1 and configurable gearcase options.
Sensitive to environmental concerns, this model also flaunts a CARB star rating of 3. For those unfamiliar with this, the star rating refers to the California Air Resources Board's rating system for engine emissions- with higher ratings indicating lower engine emission levels. This clearly shows that power doesn’t come at the cost of the environment in the case of the Mercury Outboard Motor 12250036A 225L SeaPro DTS 5.44" 1.75 2023.
Does this model tick every box in my checklist for a 225 - 350 Horsepower category outboard motor? It certainly does. The 2023 Mercury Outboard Motor 12250036A 225L SeaPro DTS 5.44" 1.75 is indeed a powerhouse with a trove of clever technology under its hood- tailored to deliver a top-tier marine experience.

The See Dealer Cost Story
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,
