Yeah, yeah, yeah, It'll be interesting to see the specs. I wonder if it
is derived from a car engine.

Not likely I would think.

Probably a 300 on steroids.

At the moment, Yamaha does not offer any V8 four cycle outboard.

Yeah - I just looked at the specs. 60 degree block, DOHC, 32 valves -
sounds like a car engine design.

Overkill though.

Hey, my entire boat resembles that remark! 2006 Yamaha SX230 HO. ;-)

What a waste. Outboards. Hell, I have just about that much HP (and I'm
sure the 350 is way overrated) and I'll bet I can go three times as far on
the same amount of gas, with my I/O v-8.

Seems like there is a small market for them.

I dunno. I can visualize a lot of guys who bought dual engine setups for
their 25-27' center consoles and cabin boats who might go for a single
350 instead. There's not going to be a lot of top end diff between a
single 350 and a pair of 200s because of the single-engine weight and
drag advantage. Must be a $30 grand retail outboard, though. Ouch.
