Wow. and only $70,000.00 a copy too. BUT you get a custom paint job w/
each purchase!

?;^ )

No, really. That does seem to be an amazing engine....

What do you find so amazing if I may ask? They said it was a Caddy
engine, with a blower...


Will your local Caddy dealer know how to work on the motor and the lower
end?

My dad purchased an outboard thinking that it would be easier to
service. All it did was raise the price of parts.



My question was "what is so amazing about an outboard engine"?

Over 500HP from one OB motor is amazing. Sure it's expensive as hell,
and the company may not last to honor warranties, but it's still an
interesting design.
