There’s something excitingly raw about the power harnessed in an outboard motor. Even more so when speaking about the 2023 Mercury Outboard Motor 14000039A 400XL Verado Warm Fusion White 5.44" 1.75 HD. With a staggering 400 horsepower, or 298 kilowatts, this powerful beast of a motor, as its classification suggests, is destined for the 400 Plus Horsepower category.
Right off the bat, the 400XL Verado impresses with its inline 6 configuration which, let's be honest, is the stuff of boat enthusiast dreams. It boasts dual overhead cams and 24 valves, indicating a design aimed at maximising power and efficiency in equal measure. Displacement comes in at 158.5 CID, or 2.6L if you prefer, with a full throttle RPM range of 6200-6800. This means only one thing: sky-high performance.
But the 400XL Verado isn’t just about brute force. The air induction system is supercharged with charge air cooling and electronic boost pressure control for optimal performance.
On the practical side, commendations should be given to Mercury Marine for incorporating Sequential multi-port electronic fuel injection (EFI) for efficient fuel burning. To further maintain the engine's health, they included an engine protection operator warning system coined the "SmartCraft Engine Guardian," designed entirely with the motor's longevity in mind.
For the digitally inclined, worry not, the 400XL Verado doesn't skimp on the tech. It's compatible with SmartCraft digital technology, which opens up a world of useful and sophisticated features for monitoring, performance tracking, and even entertainment.
Starting is a breeze with an electric start system bolstered by SmartStart protection. The speaker drivers will appreciate the Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) controls, which offer smooth, precise throttle response and gear switching. The electro-hydraulic power steering is another significant plus, which provides effortless control and precise steering with minimal power input.
The 400XL Verado is more than just a powerful engine; it's a comprehensive power system. It's sophisticated, technologically advanced, and above all else, it speaks of high-level craftsmanship. With a MSRP of $39,920 and an even more enticing dealer invoice price of $31,936, the 2023 Mercury Outboard Motor 14000039A 400XL Verado Warm Fusion White 5.44" 1.75 HD promises to bring value and unprecedented power to your boating experience.

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
