Re: OMC V-8 Outboards...
Reel:
OMC made V8 in 3.6L and 4.0L over the years. I have a 93 250 V8 (4.0L) hanging from my Aquasport 25CCP. Actually with normal exhaust, vice the offshore version shown, you would be surprised how quite they run.
The motor produces Unbelievable torque!!! and even greater fuel consumption capability than you can imagine. My 250 ( not as ported as the 300 and carb bore are slightly smaller than the 300, still consumes 27-28 Gallons an hour at WOT ( although I get 42 MPH on the GPS in my rig). I understand ( I haven't run mine long enough to form an opinion) that if you keep them feed with gas so they don't lean out ( they have two VRO pumps!!) they are quite reliable. Time will tell
