Lets talk practical outboards on a bracket that can hit 60. So far we have the 250XS. .

Finally! Giant displacement car motors with a wicked case of the hops don't count.

Problem is ...........the V's only rated up to 200hp.
So, I suppose you have to be an " outlaw" to run with more hp. The most powerful 200 outboards are the etec HO and the Merc Optimax, both producing well over 200 actual hp at the prop. Genie Ayer's boat with the etec HO I believe he said runs about 52 mph WOT. Now as for inboards..........who would know how much hp ? I'd really like to see more video of the V that was running about 70mph........was porpoising a bit, but I bet tabs would fix that issue.

What about a hopped up 280hp 2.5L Merc? Leave the 200 Cowling on and nobody would ever know. The V20 my trim tabscame from had a worked on Merc 2.5 and was running 55.
