Ilmor’s New Supercharged 6.2L Inboard

Ilmor Marine, in partnership with MasterCraft Boat Co., has introduced a 6.2-liter, supercharged engine that produces 630 hp and 665 pound-feet of torque.

“This entirely new powertrain represents an extraordinary level of power, performance and refinement, something we at Ilmor recognize as a huge industry advancement," said Ilmor president Paul Ray. 

“We value the ownership experience, whether that be through our engine performance or our constantly improving customer service,” Ray said. “Companies that share that same principal are precisely the companies we like to collaborate with, something we saw in MasterCraft from the very outset of our exclusive partnership in 2011.”

Technical Highlights

The Supercharged 6.2L Engine features a fully closed-loop cooling system including the exhaust and a four-star emissions rating. It’s backed by a five-year/500-hour warranty, which is rare for any supercharged engines. MasterCraft and Ilmor say the new engine will be available in July.

“Over the past five decades, MasterCraft has been built on four brand pillars — Legacy, Power, Precision and Progression,” said Fred Brightbill, CEO and chairman of MasterCraft. “We continue to build on our legacy with the launch of the Ilmor Supercharged 6.2L engine, the world’s most powerful towboat engine.”

He continued, “For the last 10 years, we have been privileged to exclusively partner with Ilmor Marine and offer the best performing engines in every MasterCraft. We look forward to future achievements with the Ilmor team.”
