Yamaha Marine has officially unveiled the monstrous V8 XTO Offshore, a 425-horsepower, naturally aspirated 5.6L outboard

 

Cheese and rice...

We'll be seeing 4 of these along the back of one of the 

boats on a saltwater fishing show pretty soon.

 

Because you can never get to the wrecks fast enough.

 

Or you can never outrun a storm fast enough.

 

Dang. That thing's a beast.

It's funny...cars and trucks developing smaller motors with bigger HP, then that thing comes along at almost 350 cubic inches...for a boat...

 

Pretty cool.

 

I don't even want to think about the gas bill...

Coming to the back of a bass pro boat sooner than you can type KVD.

Guna get one for your tin Catt?

What does naturally aspirated mean? No turbo?

Yes, no forced induction like a turbo or supercharger.  

 

And that outboard is beast, gotta love a Yamaha.

This gets nearly as much power from a 2.6L super charged V-6.

Comparing a race Merc to a stock Yamaha!

 

Mercury fans! ?

I think I'll slap that on the back of my H18 .....It only weighs 952lbs....haha thats only about 150lbs less than the dry weight of my hull.

I was thinking the same about my boat...except my dry hull is about 1,300...that thing'd sink it like a rock...

That's kinda where I was going with car engines.  Ford gets 350 HP, 350 ft. lbs of torque, out of a 2261 cc intercooled, turbocharged, 4 banger...in a fully warrantied street car...
