New 557hp V8 outboard
 

I thought the factory might be interested in this monster motor, the first V8 since Johnson;

These outboards were quite the talk at the Miami Boat Show....
The price is pretty heavy.... We will see if that changes...

They certainly may have something.....

what was the asking price, and are there any videos of them running??

I didn't get exact numbers.... Word has it that they are 40-60k each... But like I said, I didn't get exact pricing from the reps..

I have not seen any running video... But we will certainly be eager to see it...

I am pretty sure the number is closer to 70k.

How many boats are running these?

I've yet to hear any PROP SHAFT horsepower figures.

Just takes a little effort to look for stuff..
Seven Marine has tons of videos on water,land, engineering specs, etc,etc..

Its the same exact LS557hp GM engine in the Corvette mated to a ZF custom designed lower unit.
Nothing fancy or exotic..Being as the engine is all aluminum to start with it made a good platform for this setup.

Its a Cadillac CTSV engine.
