*gasp*

Retail pricing is said to be "in the $77,000 range."
 
Seven Marine made a 627 horsepower V8 boat motor. They stopped.


 
At some point you cross over from being profitable and efficient to just being overweighted and a waste of money. Gimme a single screw diesel trawler and I’m happy.

You are not the target demographic for this product.
Giant outboards are the most popular thing going in boating.
 
And I'll most likely never be.

For me, Ranger Tug 27

Last I looked the Power Ball jackpot was 330 million. I'll be putting in my order for a Jimmy Buffett special Freeman 44 with quad 450 HP engines as soon as I cash the giant check.

 
Why is that? I'm not a boat guy, but it doesn't seem all that advantageous to stuff so much motor into an outboard.

Serious question.

Center console boats are becoming more and more popular and bigger and bigger. They are preferred because there are fewer onboard systems to maintain, therefore they suffer less down time and lower maintenance costs.
 
I was hoping for a return of The Mecury Marauder in a King Cab.........................................................Boats, Ya Say?????.....nah
