Nipper I think it is the same motor with a different camera angle. Video 5 and 6 were taken by a guy standing up in front of console. Other rearward facing video is shot from the drivers perspective down low. I noticed the same thing. The boat in video 5 and 6 looks narrow too, I wonder if that has something to do with the video camera settings. EDIT- Article says they have two sizes 2.3 liter and a 3.0 liter.
Can't go wrong using the Merc mid lower and trim. Good and durable. Can you imagine the obstacles to bringing this to the market?
I would think these guys are waiting for someone with greenbacks to come along and infuse some much needed dough and lead them into production. As for long term testing, better test for durability now than release it and use the buyers as guinea pigs.
It would make a really neat water tractor.. I want mine with dual stacks and a tuner.
