804 lbs.:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Yikes!
600 new parts:eek:

Someone else go first............I'd be using the Merc 300XS.

804lbs.....gawd, thats heavy. Better be a strong transom.

a pair of 175 or 200's weighs 816, so what's the big deal??

What he said.

I want to check one of those out.Hell that's like throwing a pickup motor upright!

Triple 300XS 900hp 1500lbs
Triple 350 Yam 1050hp 2400lbs

Thats alot of extra weight for 150hp

Build an I/O center console like the old Scarab Sports

Yeah , I was all jacked up on the new yammy until I found out about the weight ..... Merc has the new Verado dialled in pretty good ..... the 300xs requires good fuel ..... If you do the math , the 300 HPDI is still has the best power to wt. ratio , unless you can run the good fuel all the time ... which I cannot:mad: .... Brian , I will be following this very closely !:cool: Whats you expected first build date ?

I'm waiting on quotes now from several tooling companies. Early 08 for sure! We're going to offer some " BLOWOUT" deals to help pay for the tooling. I'll keep you posted.
