Don't sing it, bring it.
Competition is good for the sport.

Yeah, I heard they detuned the V8 to 200hp and hired Filter as rigging consultant.

Dont expect to see anything new from Yamaha until maybe the end of the year, Oh wait, they did just come out with a new F25 !!!!!!!!!!!

Nice to see Merc is always the bench mark for the other brands to TRY and best

A 200 horse 15 inch trp motor would be sweet.

The first direct injected 300 hp outboard was a Yamaha.

The first 350 hp 4-stroke was a Yamaha.

The first 225 hp 4-stroke was a Yamaha.

The first Mercury 225 hp 4-stroke was made by Yamaha.

The first V6 outboard that did not need to have an ignition component replaced every 15 hours of running time was a Yamaha.
