Packed with event coverage from around the country, a trio of sport catamaran profiles, a closer look at the new Mercury Racing 450R outboard engine, a feature on a customer taking his new Cigarette 42X to the Florida Keys with several buddies and more, the latest Speed On The Water digital magazine is a must-read.

The new May/June 2019 Speed On The Water digital magazine, which you can download for free here, includes a fun perspective of the mid-June debut of the supercharged 450R, Mercury Racing’s most powerful outboard engine to date.

Mercury showcased the 450R for members of the media on Old Hickory Lake outside of Nashville. Among the boats repowered with the new outboards was an MTI 340X catamaran—a boat we previously experienced with Mercury Racing 300R and 400R outboards—and two other sport cat models, a Mystic Powerboats C3800 and a Wright Performance 420, which also were showcased with 450R power at the Nashville event. You can learn more about both of those models, though with 400R outboards, as well as a 26-foot Adrenaline sport cat powered by twin 300R outboards in this issue.
