Mike, my wife and I just got done watching this video. I'm super excited and my pride is beaming right now. I have had my hands on every single 500R built this far. I'm so glad you two covered this reveal. I can't wait to see the latest videos with my engines. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Mike, After seeing this announcement earlier this week I knew that you would be putting new 500Rs on that 440X. This video just verifies my suspicions.
The stuff dreams are made of biggest, best, meanest 50ft quint you could come up with and our STARs are there to relay the event in person. Thank you again Mike and Sara for sharing the content we dream about ... Howe2Live, you share in such a warm and personable way. Australia ❤s all your videos and I want you to know we all appreciate your work - stay awesome guys!
Righteous Video again Mike and Sarah!! For some reason i see two new %00R racing outboards on your brandnew MTI44x!! That would be off the chart!! Thank you for sharing your exciting trip to SC!!! Love your channel!!
I just this week ran into a Mercury video on the 500R and was going to send you the link, but it appears that you got tipped off on the release. Now for a computer and a pair of mode control vanes to keep the 44 planted when required and airborne when needed.
Excellent video Mike and Sarah! My wife and I love the channel and your adventures. Although we have a bass boat with a 250 Pro XS V8, I love watching all outboard powered boats. The way you two put content together and the scenery that goes along with it is truly impressive and a great watch. As soon as I saw the release of the 500R, I said to my wife H2L will definitely be trading in the 450R's.:) You guys do a great job and we love the videos, btw, I like that you guys ended up at a bass tournament! Keep the cool content coming!
Hi Mike/Sarah....Another great video and thanks so much for sharing. when do you plan on leaving NY harbor?? Which marina?? Please let me know if you have specifics as I do much boating in NY waters and would like to see you out!! Take care
@@captlucky2320 100hp with twins which should allow you to go down 1 prop size depending on size of the boat. That’s more rpm, less cruising rpm and a significant amount of mid range and less plane time. Now if that 100hp is on a 39 you could possibly make even more gains obviously.
@@garystrain2788 I get that Yamaha is a larger corporation. Pianos, motorcycles, generators, and outboards. But I meant that no outboard company even comes close in innovation and variety of power. And their quality is on par with Yamaha. I’ve owned them all at one point or another and these newer mercs are top notch. Yamaha is getting left in the dust.
@saltfly you are 100% correct, now Merc needs to stay IN WISCONSIN, hopefully Wisconsin gives them some tax breaks and Merc needs to focus on Fresh water (their roots) Vs only deal With the 1% of the world
Hey from Perth Aust. Love the channel guys, always enjoy your content. Cant wait to see the NY to Miami run. Do you have a date yet? Keep up the great content you two 😀
Wow! There just Beautiful & runs on 89 pump gas! MERCURY just kills it! I'm really excited to see those 500's on your NY-Miami Run. I can live Vicariously though you and your Beautiful Wife. If I only could find a wife like yours that loves the go fast boats. That's my dream. You guys rock. Thanks for another great video. Peace & Love.
Mike, is it possible to somehow livestream the whole NYC to Miami trip? There are tons of us who'd love to do the trip with you. If not in person, why not virtually? At least, somehow let us know your location and speed. Thank you! This video was another homerun, btw. Yeah, the content was good, but I recognize a fellow kid in the candy store when I see one.
You aren't alone. Mine won't submerge even in the shower, gets nauseous when in the bay waters fishing due to the rocking of the waves. It wasn't an issue when younger and fishing rivers and lakes.
Knocked it out of the park again... Words can't describe just how good this channel is 💯❤️

Good Luck on you & Sarah world record Trip from New York to Miami! Please be safe, just getting there and a late-night dinner would be Great.😎😎
Congrats man you really deserve the invite. Great work 👍👍
Felt like I was there too! Thank you.
That new 500R would make a great replacement for the 25 on my jon boat :)
I like the display and the five 500R’s! 🏁
Love your videos and Cant wait to see the trip with the 500's
new to your channel. Love the content. IU've loved super boats since I saw the one and only off shore classic in Traverse city back in '88.
Welcome aboard!
Absolutely ❤ this channel. Simple the best 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Messenger us on FB and mention this comment and we'll send you some SWAG.
@@Howe2Live absolutely 💯 were it proudly
Cant wait to see these 500s on your new 440x
Sick merc setting the bar even higher
Those 500 are beasts!!
Awesome video with the 500R can’t wait to see more 👏
Can't wait for the NY to Miami run!
Great video
You guys need to come up to Boyne Thunder in Michigan, you would love it!
congrats on the new engines. love your insights
Just got back from Charleston and they are 2nd to none as far as the food goes.
Absolutely SICK!!!!
As always ,very good video !! How much for your 450s ?
Seen it on the interstate going south in Savannah 😂I started freaking
Howe2Live is Living It alright. You have a great channel, great wife and Great experiences. 10/10.
Just WOW!!!!! Love from Hudson, FL
Totally sweet! Can’t wait to see your performance reviews with the new outboards.
Great job you guys
Hi Mike/Sarah....Another great video and thanks so much for sharing. when do you plan on leaving NY harbor?? Which marina?? Please let me know if you have specifics as I do much boating in NY waters and would like to see you out!! Take care
Very nice, love the center console.. 90MPH is fast enough :-)
NYC to Miami in 16hrs in a MTI. That would be unbelievably EPIC!!! You probably have to average high 90's to 100mph to pull that off.
Great to see you doing a video, love your content. Hope you get those 2 500s on your boat for the trip from NY to Miami.
This is gonna be epic. What I would give to feel an apples to apples comparison of 450R’s, then 500R’s.
50hp
@@captlucky2320 100hp with twins which should allow you to go down 1 prop size depending on size of the boat. That’s more rpm, less cruising rpm and a significant amount of mid range and less plane time. Now if that 100hp is on a 39 you could possibly make even more gains obviously.
@@kevinfunk83 so your going to gain 100hp and go down in prop size then your gonna be where you started
@@captlucky2320 going down in pitch would theoretically gain more acceleration everywhere but you would still be at same top speed at same rpm.
😂😂😂 I knew they'd be on your mti immediately.. stay safe and God bless
just the BEST vid
That pretty much blows the competition away. Mercury has quite literally taken over the outboard industry
Not really. Maybe for poker run boats but world wide yamaha blows Mercury away

Vs only deal
With the 1% of the world
@@BMWorner merc sells 5-500s to a saltwater customer, and sells 1- 150 to a bass boat customer. Who do you think they’re gonna cater too.
❤facts
Hey from Perth Aust. Love the channel guys, always enjoy your content. Cant wait to see the NY to Miami run. Do you have a date yet?
Keep up the great content you two 😀
Love your channel
So sick 🤘 Didn’t realize you guys were in Maine, you doing any poker runs in the NE area? We have the BLM poker run in Fall River, MA this August.
Damm that transom on that boat must be really strong
First, The MTI is about to get an upgrade 😊
Hahahaha that was awesome 440 in the middle of all those bass boats loved that! That 500R is super sick. When are you swapping your 450Rs lol?
I'm waiting for the 750s to come out. 🤣
Livin the dream! 🙏
Is there a tentative date for the NY to Miami run??
Love the prop joke. Notice he didn't panic like the average owner who has to consider a second mortgage for props. lol
The pitch on those 450 and 500's is absolutely gnarly. I assume that is the low rpm slip they were referring to?
“Everyones’ an expert”
LOL
So what would you think about replacing a 250 pro XS mercury 4 stroke with a 500R on a 21 ‘ Blazer bass boat??
Kinda makes the 600hp v12 seem stupid. 500 horsepower at 720lbs or 600 at 1200ish
You got a damn good point.
Yamaha all day
It would have been funny if he showed up at the boat ramp with a Bass Pro Shop hat and a fishing rod, like he was about to enter the tournament.😁
Hi Mike. Really enjoy your videos. My wife loves your wife's glasses at the 8:30 mark. What brand and model are they?
Awesome Mike !! I wonder if I could make a 500R work on my 21' Skater.... LMAO
That had to be the most fun you ever had with your pants on!! lol
2 450’s for sale 🤣😂🤣
Cambridge Massachusetts in the house

Darnit, Imma have to buy a lotto ticket soon.
WHAT WOULD BE FUNNY IS IF YOU GUYS HAD ROD N REELS AND SHOWED UP AT THAT BASS TOURNAMENT GUARANTEED TO BEAT EM ALL TO THE SPOT...HAHAHA!
lol
And I’m still running my old HP500
Where is the kraken 52
They were only running at 22% also.
How do you like the hummer EV ?
Hummmm, do I see a re power in the future??!!Edit, should have finished the video before I commented!
I wish MY wife would get only about 10% enthusiastic as your wife about boating and outboards. I'd be a MUCH happier man.
You aren't alone. Mine won't submerge even in the shower, gets nauseous when in the bay waters fishing due to the rocking of the waves. It wasn't an issue when younger and fishing rivers and lakes.
I’ll take a Sock of Five for a 51 ft Sea Force Center Console!!
Really wish music wasn't being played when engines are screaming, we like to hear the sound of an engine or engines ripping at 7,000 + RPM too! !
Price ?
stay healthy
