The new motor is a 3 cylinder, 1.9L; probably 1/2 of the 300 hp G2 V-6 and incorporating the RAVE variable area exhaust system used on the BRP snowmobiles. Always figured it was only a matter of the time before they did that, as it makes a lot of sense from a parts commonality standpoint. Maybe they’ll bring out I-2 and V or I-4 versions in another year or two. Even the G1 models used the same bore and stroke for all the smaller I-2, !-3, V-4 and V-6 versions.
Pretty impressive performance on a 20’ x 8’ 3000 lb Key West runabout . . . WOT of 49.9 mph & 3.9 mpg! Best cruise of 27 mph & 5.0 mpg! Performance would be even better on the lighter and more efficient 20’ SeaCraft hull! Check out this test of the new 150!

The weight number is pretty impressive too, when you figure it INCLUDES the power steering system, fly-by-wire shift & throttle, AND a couple gallons of oil in the on-engine tank!
