Looks like a niche product to me. They are big heavy honkers.

True, but 300 hp gas outboards are not exactly feather weight either.
I think the biggest issues right now are parts and dealer support.

The Yamaha 300 is about 550 lbs, and the Cox diesel is about 825 lbs. A
bit heavier for sure.

Yes, but not really a deal breaker in my opinion. Consider that each
of my 300hp DD 6-71's weighs over 3,000 pounds, and a more modern
Cummins or Cat weighs well over 1,100 pounds plus transmission and
drive train.


The 245hp TDI in Audi and VW is about 350#. My 455hp 2019 Duramax is about
850#. So looks like 300hp is not required to be super heavy.
