This engine will be in the 2005 line up. It may but I dont see it be a late 2004 engine. The boat builders will have first crack at these engines. The only thing that I do not like on this engine is the fuel rails having 1000psi in them.

Mercury has a 300 hp out there. THe down fall is it is not carb rated. And it needs high test to run. THe Yam. is carb rated and burns reg. gas.

SECF,
He may mean CARB, as in California Air Resources Board, the regulating agency that makes sure emissions are tightly controlled in that state.

300hp Yammie, huh??? My boat would honk with that thing bolted on the transom.

What is the ramifications of exceeding the recommended Coast Guard hp for your boat? I assume I would be paying higher insurance premiums...anything else?

Geeez....my Mako would probably do 55 with 300 ponies behind here. Anyone want to buy a Suzuki 225 in great shape??? Just kidding....no new motor for me.

Ed,

You need to put two of those on your boat and then take it down and drag race with The Other Tom on the ICW. I'll volunteer to fire the starting gun [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Now Ed, why would you want to ruin a perfectly good trolling setup? Can you imagine tooling along in your boat at 55 mph with that dodger up and those Lencos kicking up a monster rooster tail?! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Plus you'd be taking on water like nobody's business with that added weight, you'd have to carry around at least 10 rolls of shop towels! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

BTW, your insurance company probably wouldn't cover you in an accident if you went over mfg. hp ratings.
