MasterCraft and Ilmor Create World’s Most Powerful Towboat Engine

At the Miami International Boat Show in February, MasterCraft and Ilmor Marine announced the brand-new Ilmor Supercharged 6.2L Engine — praised as the world’s most powerful towboat engine, boasting 630 hp and 665 LB-FT of torque — found exclusively in a MasterCraft. Incorporating years of experience perfecting the direct fuel injection delivery system, the Ilmor Supercharged 6.2L Engine offers unparalleled power, a fully enclosed cooling system, and a noticeably smoother, quieter and more responsive ride.

“It is the best of the best — an engineering marvel,” Fred Brightbill, CEO and chairman of MasterCraft, says of the engine. “As a pioneer of performance and innovation, our relentless focus on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the water is core to providing our consumers the best on-water experience.”

The Ilmor Supercharged 6.2L Engine is scheduled to begin production in Spring 2022 and will replace the current 7.4L MPI model offering in MasterCraft’s 2023 model year boat lineup.
