Default V8 Yamaha

saw a V8 Yamaha on a new Scout 26, it was the first V8 that Scout had, they were testing it on the river with the Yamaha rep. Its not as big as I thought it was going to be, not much wider than the V6, if any. Its Tall though!! Weighs in around 820 lbs.

that Scout was a Guy Harvey special edition in Marlin Blue, pretty boat( pretty expensive too).

Is that V-8 a 2 or 4 stroker?

It took 20 years, but the V-8 outboard is back.

What will that cost? If a 200 is $14k will it be $25k.

I know, I know, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

It also uses a number of new technologies, including: ionic combustion sensors that constantly monitor combustion conditions and adjust spark timing; a dimpled outer cylinder sleeve to reduce oil consumption; the new Enhanced Ultimate Corrosion Protection System (UCP-II™) with additional sacrificial anodes; an innovative internal paint process and new-generation head gaskets; and Yamaha’s Command Link® Digital Electronic Control system with redundant electronic engine control, automatic multi-engine synchronization and electronic throttle and shift.
Sounds like a BREEZE to work on ::)

I can't wait to see what kind of boats they build for these things though. It will be cool to watch for sure.
