As already mentioned I think BRP has the infrastructure in the G2 built in for future HP increases. Today's hull configurations have conformed to the increase in weight of the ever popular big 4 strokers so it only makes sense to chase the demand for bigger HP engines that push bigger boats, needing sturdier drive components. If BRP could put together a solid, reliable 350hp+ OB with a duo prop drive option they could really shake the market up considerably. Weight is not nearly the concern it used to be. Hulls are lighter than ever and engine performance is king.
