Mercury 225 Pro Max Alterscale Diecast 1:9 Scale Outboard Model

This is the coolest desk toy that exists for high performance boat nerds; an ultra limited edition diecast Mercury 225 Pro Max 2 stroke V6 outboard model, produced by Alterscale! They only made around 400 of these in 1999-2000, and are easily the highest quality, most detailed model outboards you've ever seen in your life! Cheers!

Nice find! Incredible detail.

[@judechopper]

We love happy people like you guys😂 you nice couple!

94 merc 225 promax 2 smoke here. One ☝️ of the best motors I’ve ever owned in my 57 years on this planet. I’ve actually seen em run for 3000 hours with proper maintenance.

JELLY! Awesome engine!

Big Outboards, Little Outboards, Model Outboards............I love your enthusiasm for all of it 👍👍

[@ADDvanced]

I just wanna go fast! Unrelated, put about 170 miles on the 911 today, ran awesome! Loving it!

[@beastyachtracer]

@@ADDvanced Lovely to hear your 911 is going well too, I dropped mine off for major body surgery / respray the other day so will be missing it for the next couple of months.

[@ADDvanced]

@@beastyachtracer Good luck! Also, don't get scammed on "Ceramic" coatings. They're not ceramic, that is a buzzword produced by marketing douches because people associate ceramic with durable/scratch resistant. Highly suggest you just pick up some Klasse paint sealant, it's what I use on everything. amzn.to/43jOsMb

[@beastyachtracer]

@@ADDvanced Ah yes the ceramic coatings sales bs is quite spectacular. I shall look up the Klasse Paint Sealant, I have been using Autoglym products for years on the 911 and my vintage banger and it works well.

[@littlegordeo25]

So cool the detail of that model 🤘👍

[@ADDvanced]

It's wild; even the fuel hoses and fuel pump are shown accurately.

[@Mags120fish1]

Very detailed model. Pretty cool.

[@a3_Beats]

These Are sick! Wish i had one 😅

[@pgnandt]

Those seats are perfect. Nice match. When glassing in the new floor this is something to consider. My 20 Avenger, when sitting in the seat had like a 6" high footboard running across the floor tilted slightly forward. When driving my legs were under the dash, knees slightly bent (I'm 6' tall). It was real comfy being able to press against this foot rest with my feet pushing my back against the seat. Kept me inside the boat when getting loose on top of the chop. Not sure if your dash is lower than the 20 though. Also kept lawn chairs and things in place under the bow. Something to consider.....Thanks for the video.

[@ADDvanced]

Yes, this boat still has that angled board up there! I think that is fine, honestly the floor would be OKAY to run as is, but it's just getting tired and starting to flex a lot; I'd rather just put in a new one at this point and actually waterproof it properly before installing the interior.

[@jakem5339]

You should check out MW Marine in Hales Corner, WI. They have a large case of scale motors on display!

[@ADDvanced]

That’s odd. I will def check it out!

toys for big boys

[@monoskier2112]

That was really cool, great detail on the model 😎 Just wanted to ask a question, what is going on with the blue boat? Are you going to finish it or did you sell it? I have not seen any updates on that one. Take care dude😎🇨🇦

[@ADDvanced]

It's way rad! Yes, still have it. As for the SST, currently waiting on an upholstery guy....

[@pgnandt]

@@ADDvanced Speaking of which I want first dibs when you flip it. She'll sleep in a hanger and be fed a steady diet of 100LL Avgas.😀

[@themastermind8175]

Should put a brushless motor in that thing and hook it up to an RC boat

[@ADDvanced]

it's so heavy it would likely sink one, lol

[@questsischiller4443]

Went on E-bay to get one of these. They are kind of expensive!

[@ADDvanced]

Can confirm! I've seen them online occasionally but avoided them due to price, this one popped up locally for less than half of what they go for online, so I jumped on it!

[@danfarrington7665]

Where do I get one of those die-cast models?

[@wesreed3221]

Hi Rob, whats the least youd take for the model???

[@ADDvanced]

Not available, gave it to my Dad and he geeked out about it!

[@danosburn80]

If you're that big a Mercury nerd, have you heard of Brucato SVS intake systems?

[@ADDvanced]

Have not, just went down that rabbit hole for a bit! Super cool stuff, will definitely read more about it! Thank you for your comment!

[@danosburn80]

@@ADDvanced fun fact, when Tony Brucato retired, I bought both of his CNC milling machines! They both had failed controls and he needed them both gone quick! His place in Apex NC was only about an hour from me!

[@uhoh71]

If that had been an Evinrude scale model, it would have worked, lol

[@ADDvanced]

ha, whatever man :P

[@hoeguy7862]

Sort out your "overheating issue" yet?

[@greyone40]

Yikes! A Jaguar! Did I call it, or what?

[@ADDvanced]

Sure did! Looking forward to messing with it!

[@user-mx4kv7gg8n]

Would you like to sell your Mercury die cast outboard engine?

[@keithmcpherson4001]

Doesn'ttake much to entertain you two?
