Power
It’s what turns an otherwise average boating experience into something exhilarating. 
Liquid Glass Powerboats continues a longstanding tradition of working closely with the largest marine engine supplier globally to ensure each set of engines are optimized and matched to the boat it propels. Mercury Racing, a division of Mercury Marine, is recognized worldwide for its commitment to building high performance marine race engines for the discriminating boater.
But engines by themselves only make up a portion of a Catamaran’s overall performance. At Liquid Glass Powerboats, no detail goes unnoticed. Our engine mounts are specifically designed and customized to accommodate a variety of engine packages. The aluminum rail system heavy-duty mounts work to keep vibration to a minimum. Engine wiring is easy to access and color-coded.
Engines aren’t just about speed. A variety of powerplants are available to ensure performance, speed, efficiency, and usability are accurately matched to the owner’s needs. A few engine packages include:
700 SCi
The Mercury Racing 700 SCi with 700 horsepower is one of Mercury’s newest configurations. The 700 SCi features a copper-nickel alloy intercooler, a micro-alloy crankshaft with enhanced durability and strength, and a new camshaft design allows for increased valve lift for enhanced power and torque. The engine features the all new dry-sump NXT1 drive and transmission designed and developed exclusively by Mercury Racing. Engine aesthetics are new with the carbon fiber reservoir covers, polished pulleys, and selected components painted slate grey. Overall, twin 700 SCi’s result in a superbly quick engine package on any body of water.
850 SCi
The Mercury Racing 850 SCi engine with 850 horsepower is based on its venerable bigger brother, the 1075 SCi. A pair of Lysholm twin screw superchargers, combined with multiport fuel injection (two injectors per cylinder), provide sport boaters with turn-key starting, great overall running quality and incredibly smooth idle quality for a high horsepower big block. Shifting into and out of gear is smooth as silk with the engine’s 800 RPM idle speed, making docking a pleasant experience. The design features a low profile to reduce the engine’s center of gravity. Aesthetically, a new style billet aluminum pulleys anodized in Mercury Racing’s brilliant blue, is complemented by matching valve covers. Composite supercharger air inlet resonators and engine covers complete the styling of the 850 SCi. The 850 SCi offers the best of both worlds: a refined engine coupled with tremendous raw performance.
1075 SCi
The 1075 SCi with its massive 1,075 horsepower is immensely powerful and fast. The 1075 SCi features a pair of Lysholm twin screw superchargers with multi-port fuel injection, providing sport boaters with turn-key starting, incredible idling, great running quality and smooth as silk shifting. Bold new graphics, carbon fiber valve covers and new style anodized billet aluminum pulleys complete the aesthetic package. The 1075 SCi truly offers a unique, one-of-kind high-performance catamaran experience.
1200 SCi
The 1200 SCi is Mercury’s ferocious, premier race engine. The engine, featuring the legendary dry-sump Six drive, is the most powerful consumer sterndrive (1,200 horsepower) ever built by Mercury Racing. Based on a high performance 557-cubic inch V-8 cylinder block, the 1200 SCi features a pair of Lysholm twin screw super chargers with multiport fuel injection (two injectors per cylinder). New Mercury Racing and engine model graphics adorn the carbon fiber top cover and valve covers. Polished pulleys and clear anodized hose fittings put the finishing touches on what is the ultimate in high performance sterndrive marine propulsion. Think of it as a street legal race engine available to you.
662 SCi (European)
The Mercury EU662 SCi is exclusively designed for the European market. With 662 horsepower, the 662 SCi meets the requirements of the European Union’s CE Recreational Craft Directive (RCD), including the recent 2003/44/EC amendment for exhaust emissions. The engines also comply with the EU’s Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive. Meeting the combination of these directives enables the 662 SCi engines to be CE marked. The 662 SCi is the highest horsepower marine engine certified for sale in the EU. It shares all of the game-changing technology of its North American counterpart – the 700 SCi. Engine packages come standard with the NXT1 drive for both close-couple and drive-line installations. The new NXT1 SSM drive, featuring the dry-sump Six drive coupled to the NXT1 transom plate and the dry-sump NXT1 transmission, is available as well.
Additional Customization
If these engines don’t meet your needs for power, others are available. No matter which engine package is selected, further customization is always an option. And once you’ve selected your power option, we make sure that it is visibly impressive and easily accessible. Even our engine hatch covers are electrically operated and open to the rear of the boat, a thoughtful design feature when access to the engine compartment is necessary. Inside the engine compartment is a spacious, intelligently designed substructure with ample room throughout.
