Anyone following the new developments with the rumors of some of the manufactures coming out with big block 350 and 400 fourstrokes?
I just picked my boat up from APM and the owner was telling me about the new bigger block merc's that will be in production soon. I'm reading now about Sussie having a model for awhile now but not able to keep it from blowing up. Mercury has 20 units out there in massive testing from what I can read. It will be interesting to see the development of these new engines. The 350 yammy keeps blowing up and has a horrible fuel burn rate.
I'm going to build a bigger boat soon and I am researching as much as possible. Any input into these new high horsepower singles would be appreciated.
I have to weigh the difference in price from a single to twins for cost. I would love to go twins and that is the ultimate solution but one has to look at these new singles as well.
Cheers,
Sculpin
