Correction on the peak torque number: 439 pounds.

I inadvertently duped the horsepower rating as the torque output. Apologies for any confusion.

Two options: SportMaster or 5.44 HD. (It's in the story but the story is long—necessary evil this time around—and it's kind of buried.)

Is the Cigarette Tirranna equiped with 450's a new boat, or one of the two from the Miami Show?

It's cool but for twins almost 100K for 900HP? I get that they don't have the volume sales like the auto industry but holly cow.

Like it said in Matt's write up, maybe they do that to keep 400 sells up.

Supply and demand. They know how to play the game. The 450R will be much more affordable when the 500R comes out! LOL

Glad to see they continue to push the envelope, so that one day when I’m in the market for a 60k fishing motor there’s something available. Basically 700lbs per hanging on the transom. Wasn’t too long ago the 300xs was heavy at 505 compared to the 2.5Ls
