Great piece, as usual, Jared. I would gently disagree that Seven Marine "changed the industry" but that's one of those inherently subjective statements that's hard to prove or disprove.

One of my spy’s in Fla said Merc was set to release a 525 HP version of their OB at the Miami show until covid cancelled the show.
Personally I think those motors are ugly but regardless, we are in midst of a paradigm shift in OBs. |

High RPMS are death on diesels so in a performance boat that might be an issue, even BobtheBuilder had a motor fail on his 50 NT. It had less than 1000 hours on it IIRC.
The other issue would be arneson parts, "Rik" hasn't been great with getting parts lately. |

Twin Disc Marine manufactures/sells the larger (ASD-8 on up) Arneson Drives, Rik would not be involved with the sales/support for the drives that would be mounted behind diesels on the larger (40' and up) CCs and/or cats.
