Mercury Marine's mind-blowing concept. At the Miami International Boat Show 2026 this past February, I attended a press event that covered all the new and innovative products Brunswick was launching. One of the most interesting items I thought they were going to show off was the outboard below. I was surprised when it was glossed over, mentioned briefly as a concept, and then they moved on. Wait, what? I wanted to know more. I was later told by a Mercury representative that it is just a concept that they wanted to put out there to see what their consumers thought of it. I'm guessing to gauge interest in it and get feedback. But it was odd that there was absolutely no information to accompany the display. Even though it wasn't a prominent display, it drew a lot of interest and confusion from people walking past it who realized it wasn't a 600hp model. With the Mercury 600 and the new 500R Mercury racing outboards being so successful, this could be Mercury's next large outboard production in an upcoming announcement later this year. With the increasing popularity of ever larger outboard yachts and the move of many boaters from inboard craft to outboards, these monsters actually make sense... in an alternate and very different world from the one I live in. Although there was no signage, it was definitely a mock-up. Taking a close look, it appeared to have the same lower end and a similar midsection and cowling to the current 600HP. The horsepower marking on it said 808 - definitely a significant increase over the current 600HP. Identifying it with 808 decals and a Chrome 808 emblem at the top of the cowling means, in my opinion, it's further along than just a concept. Mercury Marine and Brunswick have not grown the way they have by backing and funding projects that weren't destined for success. As larger and larger outboard power boats are being produced, so is the need for monster outboards to propel them. It makes sense that as they grow in size, so too should the outboards that power them. Knowing Mercury as an innovator that's pushing hard to gain more and more market share, I'm sure there will be an announcement of a new super-horsepower engine at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Brunswick Corporation demonstrates strong market momentum at Cannes Yachting Festival 2026. Strong dealer demand for the new Navan C38, another record for Mercury outboard engine share, and a new Navico Group technology partnership highlight the strength of Brunswick's integrated marine portfolio. METTAWA, Ill., Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Brunswick Corporation's (NYSE: BC) market momentum was again in evidence at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, where the Company generated robust dealer demand across its premium boat portfolio, successfully launched the all-new Navan C38 model, expanded its integrated boating capabilities through a new Navico Group partnership, and achieved a new record for Mercury Marine share of outboard engines at the Show. Navan C38 Launch Drives Strong Dealer Demand One of the highlights of the event was the world premiere of the all-new Navan C38, which generated significant interest from dealers, customers, media and industry professionals throughout the event. Dealer confidence in the new model, the largest in the Navan range, helped propel Navan wholesale orders to levels significantly exceeding prior year, and contributed to much stronger overall wholesale sales than at the 2025 show. Mercury Extends Its Leadership Position Mercury Marine once again demonstrated its strength in the European market, achieving 67 percent overall outboard engine share at the Cannes Yachting Festival, an increase over the previous few years. Mercury's leadership was particularly evident at the Vieux Port location, where the brand accounted for 82 percent of all outboards displayed on many of the show's largest and most premium vessels. Navico Group Advances Integrated Boating Innovation During the Festival, Navico Group announced a strategic partnership with Elettromedia, the company behind the Audison and Hertz audio brands, with the shared goal of creating more seamless and integrated onboard experiences for boaters worldwide. The collaboration combines Navico Group's expertise in marine electronics, digital controls and vessel integration with Elettromedia's audio engineering capabilities to help OEM partners deliver more intuitive and immersive onboard experiences. Under the agreement, Audison and Hertz will become Navico Group's preferred audio brands, while Navico Group's portfolio will serve as Elettromedia's preferred multifunction display platform for marine applications. "The momentum we experienced at Cannes reflects the strength of Brunswick's portfolio and the confidence dealers, customers and partners have in our brands," said David Foulkes, Chief Executive Officer of Brunswick Corporation. "From the successful launch of the exciting Navan C38 model and the strong dealer demand it generated for all Navan models, to Mercury's continued outboard engine leadership, and Navico Group's latest technology partnership, Cannes showcased the power of our brands and partnerships, as well as our ability to deliver innovation across the marine ecosystem."
