both can go bigger. I've been to several verado classes and 350 is not even close to the full potential of that motor. I have driven boats with 350sci's. They are no joke. But they still use very little boost. I have heard that block can handle almost 600 hp. I'm sure the yammi can handle as much too but they are lacking the need for speed that mercury racing division has. I'm sure EPA regulations play a big part too. If you ever get a chance to drive a boat with the 350sci take it! those things really spool up.
