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"?
You can get painted to match your gel-coat. You can get it painted to
match your arm candy's bathing suit. You can get it painted to match...

There really isn't anything special about it other than you can get it
painted to match anything you want and you could hang 4 of the off the
ass end of some boat and have a $300K of motors on a $150K boat.
There is a guy in the UK who has a 90 MPH inflatable boat with eight
250 hp outboards. Cross Channel smuggling is what he does. You can
make a good living on cigs and booze and not risk the heavy time for
drugs and guns.

I'm sure they will see some buyers for that use.
