BIG outboard

I agree 110% about the advantage of displacement that yamaha has.
I may have shot from the hip about 600hp but I do remember back at the first verado class I went to the instructor told us that it was tested with two blowers and I forget exactly how much hp it is capable of but I know it was a lot. The next time I talk to merc tech I will see if they know. As for the 350 sci. It is built buy the racing divison but anyone with a large sum of money can buy one. We have a customer with a 34 venture that had a pair of 300 verados. He wanted to go faster so he ditched them for a pair of 350 sci's. I work on both yamaha and merc. Mostly 200hp and up. The yamaha v8 is a great motor. But there is a lot under that cowling. A lot more than the verado making the same power
