Ugliest OB I’ve ever seen!

If that’s not enough, it’s 1260 lbs and $77K!

I must have missed something.
Ugh
I dont get the hate... they are making a product that competes with more engines and should end up being cheaper..... 3 450rs would cost about $165k, weigh in around 2100 lbs, and are only 1 speed transmissions with the extra drag of the 3rd gear case and extra cost to rig a 3rd engine. These 600s would offer similar performance for $154k (especially at cruise speed with the 2 speed transmissions) and reduce rigging and maintenance costs considering 2 vs 3 engines. If you can give me about the same cruise speeds while burning less fuel, reducing maintenance, opening up some transom space, all for less $$ it seems like a no brainer in the cruiser world

Would be interesting to see the GPH/hr chart of those things compared to older stern drives. Thing jumped right up to 50 mph with those 2-speed trans as well.

At that point, you have to ask, is 11 MPH worth $70,000? lol
