After working on engine in bilge this weekend, those outboards Really look good...
HA! No kidding. No matter how big the engine compartment looks when you buy the boat it gets awful claustrophobic when you actually need to do work.
Now that they have some really high horsepower outboards like the 400hp Mercury and 425hp Yamaha. I think we are going to see even more of a trend this direction, and I am happy about that.
I also see Yanmar is attempting to bring the diesel outboard back. Hopefully they will make a large enough one for cruisers.
