Thanks stp. Nothing there about aftermarket superchargers.
Probably just not done, or rare because of practicality.

Found this about the Verado athttp://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/006413.html
*****************
Weight can be saved by supercharging. Let's compare the weigh of some
200-HP outboard motors:

1.7-liter supercharged 200-HP = 510-lbs (Mercury Verado 200)
3.6-liter non-supercharged 200-HP = 580-lbs (Suzuki DF200)
3.4-liter non-supercharged 200-HP = 588-lbs (Honda BF200)

The supercharged motor is 70 to 78-lbs lighter. However, if we move down
just slightly in horsepower to the 150-HP range, the supercharged motor
loses any advantage, and instead shows an 32- to 36-lb disadvantage:

1.7-liter supercharged 150-HP = 510-lbs (Mercury Verado 150)
2.9-liter non-supercharged 150-HP = 474-lbs (Suzuki DF150)
2.3-liter non-supercharged 150-HP = 478-lbs (Honda BF150)
*****************

Pretty nice weight savings if I went up to a 200hp.
Looks like the Mercury is the only game in town for supercharged.
Think I'll just stick with the 125 for now, and get my speed gooses from
the Cuda.

I'm sure it can be done, but it would take some extreme modification
and it would be easier and more practical to upgrade engines.


You do realize you're dealing with a lying spoofer with this particular
Jim. Of course, the "real flajim" is also a lying spoofer.

The idea of attaching a supercharger to a nearly 20 year old trash
outboard two cycle outboard is funny for at least a half dozen reasons.
You've been "gotcha'd"
