400 Verados

Anybody heard any info? Glen E?

Why stop at 400? Just go all out right now. Build a 1000 HP V16 so you can slap 2 of them on a 50 sportfish and gain some cabin space.

You funny man!!!!

Diesels, right?

Sure why not. Big massive V16 CAT outboards. Think about it though, where will the HP stop in the outboard world? Maybe 450.....500.....600?

My grandfather, father and myself have been boaters all our lives. My father looks at these 40' CCs with quad 300s and just shakes his head. If my grandfather were still alive to see these beasts he would crap himself.

He used to tell me stories about this massive 1960 something Merc 90 that he and my dad bought. Look where we are now.

I would assume Mercury and Yamaha will make it to 400hp easily with the current Verado and V8(Yamaha) motors they have now. I would have to think the down turn in the economy will slow down the horsepower race after 400..................at least for a little while.

Is Glen E on here yet?

I'm sure we will here from him...

If you look at the member list you will see that Glen is already a registered member.

Unless the economy turns around real quick,the manufacturers will not have any demand for bigger motors.That's my opinion.

That very well may be the case. But they were chomping at the bit before the downturn, and there are still people out there (Homesite, Brett, etc.) who have the bucks...
