keep in mind its a supercharged, intercooled 6. I heard rumors of a supercharged V10 being tested, when will the insanity end? Seriously, i see the future of otuboards will be diesel. Yanmar allready builds a 20hp diesel OB. vegetable based 20% biodiesel is allready becoming available at marinas. Diamond aircraft is currently manufacturing a twin engine diesel aircraft that has met eroupean certification, its pending faa certification now. With the technology to manufacture a diesel for a light aircraft, certainly a diesel outboard won't be too far off. Oh, and by the way. Mercury allready manufactures 175 opti based multi fuel engines for the navy that will run on JP5
