No turbocharger or supercharger...just a V6 or V8 outboard, four stroke,
300 shp.

My local Yamaha dealer says he thinks in three years or so.

I'm guessing Suzuki.

You'd guess right and I heard form a normally fairly clued in type
that it's next year.

Rumor has it Mercury is working on a 300hp 300XS optimax

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.

Nothing really - could work, but it's not normally aspirated which I
assume is the goal here.

Again, this is all hear say, nothing actually is proven and it's all
rumor mongering.

Speculation if you will.

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.

I'd guess Suzuki too. Their current engines have the cubic inches to do it
pretty easily.
