V8 outboard? sounds crazy having that hang on the transom.

You have to remember - these are extremely light, high rev engines
we're discussing here and only in theory. To produce that kind of
horsepower in a light weight engine, you need revs - lots of 'em.

not necessarily. A charged motor will have ample torque.

I'm not arguing that - I agree. But with normal fuel injection
breathing normal air, you need high revs.
