Mercury Marine’s new MerCruiser T8200 Tow Sport inboard delivers high horsepower able to power a tow boat up to 26 feet in length, with features allowing for ultimate two sport performance. Built on a 8.2L big-block platform with Smart Tow digital control systems, the new inboard is available in 380hp and 430hp options.

“Watersports such as wake surfing continue to grow in popularity, with today’s boaters demanding bigger boats with more features and amenities,” says John Buelow, Mercury Marine president. “To deliver what boaters in this segment want and power a new generation of fun seekers, we created the T8200 Tow Sport inboard, backed by 50 years of engineering excellence that have made MerCruiser the legend it is today.”

Features include class-leading torque for tow sport performance, SmartCraft Technology that offers a fully integrated system with Mercury Smart Tow and Surf Control, Engine Guardian system to monitor engine performance, and corrosion-preventive technology.

To complement the existing T6200, the T8200 Tow Sport inboard will be available with Varatti Z2272, Z2373 and Z2474 wake boats. “As a longtime Mercury partner, we are thrilled to add the T8200 Tow Sport inboard as an option on all of our Varatti Z surf boats,” says Wayne Floe, CEO of Floe International. “MerCruiser is synonymous with quiet, powerful and efficient performance, and this new engine allows our customers to power larger vessels and enjoy all of their favorite watersports with ease and confidence.”
