I saw it at lake Kissimmee a few months back. It has potential. Definitely loud and unnatural sounding for an outboard. And It is Huge. The cowl is the size of a v-8 OMC. It stood out among the sea of Mercury outboards. They definitely picked a beamy boat to do their testing.

No prices since it isn't available yet. they have been testing this thing for a LONG time now, yet they haven't released one yet. Maybe you oughta go with a V-8 supercharged outboard instead.

I think it's obvious they have hit some snags... the last press release was over 3 years ago. That's a lot of time to bring it to market. Still, it does have potential... gotta love the GPH ratings..

wonder why the version of the outboard in the 5th of the 6 videos is so much slimmer and taller than the other outboards. Both have 3.0 litre on the cowl, but the taller, slimmer model appears to be an inline 4 while the squat, wide version appears to be more of a V or horizontal inline configuration.
