Good grief, that is awesome !
What a monster eh.
Bloody scary too, just check that motor out ! The defenition of an outbord motor is it is a portable motor.
LOL, what does 'fuel efficient' mean (pun).

I think those outboards could become very popular, it can save a lot of space and noise inside any bigger boat. Inboards do take away a lot of usable space. Outboards are supposed to be more fuel efficiend than inboards.

Very attractive appearance.

Call me old fashioned, but i don't like the design. Its to big and bulky. Looks like something out of a atar wars movie. However i'd love that kind of Horse power behind my little boat :)

MichaelK, that kind of horsepower would turn your little boat into a little plane.

That's not the kind of motor you would hang on a small skiboat. You have to keep in mind only so many 300's can sit on a transom if you have a bigger boat. Multiple motors is less performance and heavier on fuel than one bigger motor to replace them, and I think that motor quite comfortable replaces two 300's. Usually you would install inboards in bigger boats, so imagine a four or six cylinder inboard in your skiboat, it's going to require a few compromises to make some kind of comparason. This motor gives a lot of space inside your boat back to name only one advantage. I wouldn't mind having a boat with a couple of those sitting on it !

Besides, nothing runs like a V8.
