Well **** Lars, thanks for setting me straight. I was once on the green peace tree huggers terrorist list myself back in the Exxon Valdez days. If I was a little bit younger is Jackie would say I’d like to give her a toss. Still don’t agree with her shutting down production there’s a market niche out there. Regards, Amber Jack.

Volvo Penta..(the owner of Seven Marine) are soon going to stop building 7 Marine outboards..its possible that is already the case.

One more "speculation"..Mercury Marine is working on a 600+HP V-12 outboard. (maybe a V10)
Coming soon.

Thanks for straightening me out Lars as to the progression of the demise of seven marine. Bombardier And Evinrude I’m familiar with and expect nothing less from them but I thought Volvo was a more progressive company. Anyway we live in a changing world sometimes for the better sometimes not so much best regards amberjack

Are parts still available for those v8 motors?
