[chuckle head]

that thing is sick!

[gogators27]

whats next a 500? I wonder if people will use this motor rather than two samller twins. I am curious, how many of yall with twin motors have ever had one break down offshore and had to come in on just one?

always an advantage of twins. I have had to come in one engine more times than i care to think about......

[riplipper]

maybe two of these would replace trips......

I think most boat owners would rather have two smaller engines than one big one...

804lbs....... :eek:

[SEATUX]

804lbs....... :eek:

No... Twin 350 hp = 1608lbs!

[Gamble]

I'll stick with Suki.

[hardcore]

Two yamaha 150 four strokes @ 466lb = 932lbs, 350 HP @ 804lbs sounds better.

[WonderBoy]

The V-8 in my F150 doesn't have that much horespower...

[PAT A]

I have been on boats with twins and had to come in on one engine before. I would not even consider goint to The Otherside or making a Bahamas crossing in a boat with one engine. When I heard rumors of this engine last year it was my understanding that one of the intentions was to be able to power a boat with twins, that would normally require trips....PAT

Actually a lot of customers were complainig it was sluggish...so Yamaha bumped it up to 164. :thumps:

[Capt.Gene]

Might push a narrow go fast like a Scarab or a Scorpion and make it more diver friendly than twins on the bracket.

[Mariner]

Yamaha claims it was specifically designed for the offshore market. 25's and up. Intrepid had a 40 sumthin' with quad Verados.. :eek: :eek:

[primalpete]

i knew it was comming soon

[Killer&Griller]

Ohhhhh............Ohhhhhhhhhh..........Ahhhhhhhh. Great, now I have to clean my computer screen again. :D :D

[Jammer]

What is the MSRP for one of those? (I bet you could get 2 150s for the same price)
