These are race motors and just like the MercuryRacing 400ROS, the CRT line will not come with warranty.
The CRT 2.5 powerhead I believe is capable of being a direct replacement for the MercRacing 2.5 platforms but will generate significantly more HP than Mercs 2.5 offerings.
The CRT 2.5 will proly get released first before the 3.5/4.0 which are currently still being developed
I've heard that because the 3.5/4.0 will generate lots of HP, they're designing a new powertrain to match the bigger HP
What I especially like about the CRT line is that even though the pricing will be higher(not sure how high), the cylinders (x6) are each replaceable, as opposed to Merc's full outboard-line where if you put a rod through the block, the block is no longer usable unless it goes under some surgery by after-market specialists. With the CRT line of outboards, each cylinder can be replaced with simple hand tools directly from CRT and can be done right from your garage with no special presses and honing/boring machines.
