Default biggest gas guzzling outboard

I'd say the Johnson V8 briefly produced in the 90's.....or was it the 80's ?

Then maybe the 250 OX66......

Others ?

The BIGGEST guzzler of all was the ever so rare FORUMLA 1 V8's that OMC made for a BRIEF run in the late 80's. I've only seen a few pics of them. The 235 used three 1 3/8" 2 barrel carbs, the FORMULA 1 OMC V8's used EIGHT of them on it, dry exhaust, a removeable exhaust chest, and could turn RPM's in excess 11,000 RPM's.

My grand pa has a aging banner that is probably 30 feet wide by 10 feet high in his shop, that has a F1? tunnel hull with one of those Race V-8's on the back. To say it's the most bad *** looking engine is an understatement. It would be awesome if someone made a v-8 2 stroke again that sounded nasty like the old ones.

The Yamaha F350 can really suck down some fuel too. I ran a big Grady White with triples. At WOT it was pulling nearly 100gph between all three.
