Spare - I'm really just kidding around....... for a while I was posting this question frequently.

I run a carb'd 150hp on my V21 and it's ok. The newer etec 200 or optimax 200 probably uses less fuel but to your point - it's a lot of $$$.

Hydrofoils you say? Rocket boosters? UBHYSTRY's kinda set the bar IMHO. Yup, there it is. Slightly north of 70 IIRC with an hopped up stroker SBC and an A-drive. Twins on a light one would be fun, albeit expensive. I still think a light enough 300 outboard might see 70.

I saw an Opti XS 300 3.2L Stroker on a Blazer Bay the other day. What an outboard.

The new 557 hp outboard is the ticket- weight, I believe around 1,000lbs.

Transom rips off into the water........ engine falls into the water.......sharks in the water......our shark.....
