New merc 350hp 4stroke outboard
Looks like it's finally coming. Fazza will be running them in a few weeks in preparation for 2015

The eyes and ears are open in Dubai. As soon as the specs are released, these pages will be flooded with info.
I too am interested on its weight

I'm guessing it will be close to 650 lbs. I'm more interested to see if they have finally built a lower that will stand up to offshore surfacing abuse. No doubt folks will be upping the boost on these things once the ECU is cracked, which will only compound the glass jaw issues with the lower.

Will it just be a refined V rod 350 that doesn't require 93 octane and has a factory warranty? ??? That'd be my guess. F350 competition aimed more at the rec than performance market.

It is my belief that this new engine is NA,not boosted. The photos I have been shown also indicate it has a sportmaster lower and is intended for surfacing, has an offshore clamp bracket and facilities for wingplates. I also believe it to be considerably lighter than the 667lbs of the SCI
