    I told her to go back and tell her boss to bring back the e-tech’s!
    Let's mount the engine sideways, underwater, and house it in a water resistant plastic cowl. What could go wrong!

    Not the warmest reception on that contraption!
    Glad you told em!
    Team marine service did a youtube video on that thing, after he got uninvited to their release party. Funny chit!

    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!
    As I have said several times before.............I/Os will become extinct.
    - Boat buidlers don't want em
    - Plug n play outboards are easier
    - More interior hull space
    - Better service / repair access
    - Repower changes far better than crawling into a hull hatchway
    - Fire hazard reduction (no engine ignition source inside hull)

    Clearly designed by engineers that have never owned a boat.

    Shows how far removed from their intended market Bombardier is!
    All you can ask is WTF?

    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.

    So how much would 1200 HP cost using IO's and the weight ?

    we know the back of the boat would be wasted, chance of fire goes up.

    Another 5 years you'll have a solid state battery down low and small out drives.

    lots of lobby from companies that didnt have any modern 2 stroke dfi tech.
    Of course that lobby got the emissions capped before 4 stroke outboards had to have cat convertors

    Every time I se these monster new engines it gets me thinking, get a couple of 600's have Chaz build a couple of 15 inch erector set mid's with a sport master. Put one on my xr02 ant the other on my vortex 21, and if that isn't enough maybe a 400 shot of juice to hit that magic 1000 mark. I wander what gear ratio it would take in those sportys.
    Now seriously, to bad they didn't come out with a 15" 400 v8. Maybe in ten years I could afford a used one but I will be too old to drive it.

    If you consider scale factor, and scale speed into these new outboards/boats. It really makes the old stuff look pretty good. Big difference between 100mph in a 1200lb 18' or 20' boat vs. 100mph in a 3000lb 26' thru 30' boat.
    Some people might say 100mph is a 100mph, but get behind the wheel and see which one pumps more adrenaline.

    At least that's how I justify my slow azz 30 or 40 year old junk yard hand me downs, from daddy warbucks.

    They are huge. So are the boats that they put them on. I remember back when the V8 OMC's came out everyone thought they were huge too

    I remember the Trailer Boat article with Jim Barron standing next to one when they first came out. Thats what Gary's pictures remind me of. Wish I could find it.
