knowing what Yamaha started the hp rating at for their V8, I wonder what the next hp will be available for it? 400,425, 450? Maybee all the way to 500
All i know is, Mercury has had enough issues with the verado at 300 to be worried about making 350. AS far as E-Tec goes, they don't have a real good reputation around here, I have spoken to several very unhappy e-tec customers, of course I've spoken to at least the same amount of happy ones

Mercury's 350 Verado is only an inline 6! Wonder if they plan for an Inline 8?

keep in mind its a supercharged, intercooled 6. I heard rumors of a supercharged V10 being tested, when will the insanity end? Seriously, i see the future of otuboards will be diesel. Yanmar allready builds a 20hp diesel OB. vegetable based 20% biodiesel is allready becoming available at marinas. Diamond aircraft is currently manufacturing a twin engine diesel aircraft that has met eroupean certification, its pending faa certification now. With the technology to manufacture a diesel for a light aircraft, certainly a diesel outboard won't be too far off. Oh, and by the way. Mercury allready manufactures 175 opti based multi fuel engines for the navy that will run on JP5

from what i have seen. most un happy etec customers would be unhappy regardless what brand they bought. what usually happens they owned another brand then they switch to evinrude and expect the world and if somthing extremely miniscule happens they throw a fit.
