How big are the new motors?
GARGANTUAN!
If you noticed (I did) in the marketing for the new miracle motors there’s never anything in the same for reference of size.
Saw these today at the Cleveland Ohio boat show.
They are freakin huge!
PS, 5 yrs later the pixs still load out of synch!I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

We don’t like them because they’re huge and heavy.
They don’t like them cuz they’re not IO’s!
Cleve is s big show and not sure I saw a single IO!
Id say the V-12 Mercs are every bit of 8’ tall!

Had one of these too.
They had a rep.
I didn’t realize the power plant is actually a I-3 150 HP E-etc.
I told her to go back and tell her boss to bring back the e-tech’s!

After the V12 motor has been used up you can repurpose the shell as a coffin.
what does one of those weight? Are boat designers going to start adding buoyancy side pods to the transom?1971 Sidewinder 14 SS w Johnson 90 v-4

1981 Sylvan Sportster w Johnson 85 v-4
