Thanks Ferm!

Didnt even think about youtubin it. The 350s are really quiet at low speeds and sound smooth when reaching top speed. I looked at a few Verados too. They sound a lot like I/Os. Both are the sound of power though! If only a V20 could take one of those.

I think the Verado's are I-6's aren't they? I bet they are close to the same height. Not that it matters cause they cost twice as much as my whole rig is worth.

Yep inline 6's on the big VERADO's. I don't know about now, but when the VERADO first came out they had a cast-iron block in them. Hence the almost 800 pounds in a 275HP outboard. Not to mention the VERADO is completely dependant upon the supercharger for it's HP.

Yeah I know about supercharger. But even the 350 Verado is a 6. I thought for sure it would be a V-8. I didn't know the older ones were cast iron!

every verado I've seen, including the proto type ones in mercury class( ididn't take the verado class, but they were in the class room) were aluminum blocks. they don't need cast iron to weigh that much, they've got enough crap on them on their own. The Verados are weighed less oils, filters, fuel filters, power steering actuator(that you have to have on the bigger engines) and prop. Bass and Walleye did a right up a couple of years ago where they weighed everyones 250 hp fourstroke with all the stuff that had to go with it to make it work(less controlls and helm). I can't rememeber teh specifics, but i remember the verados were over 100 lbs heavier than advertised rigged out, and less weight than teh Zuk's or Yamaha's

Hey Macojoe, Didn't Fishbone run twin 350 verado etecs on his V18?
