motor size

[JEBar]

the largest hp outboard I've ever owned is a 90 .... until recently the last time I visited a boat dealership in search of a new boat was back in '04 .... consequently, if someone had of had a video camera earlier today when I got an up close look at a 250 hp E-TEC and 225 hp Yamaha, I have no doubt I would have looked like Gomer's come to the dealership .... those motors are huge .... the 250 E-TEC was mounted on one heck of a Ranger bass boat, that combo has to be a rocket sled on the water

its a good thing that Google knows everything because until our post I didn't know a motor like that even exist .... I knew I've been out of the loop but I didn't have a clue just how far out there .... the dry weight on those motors is over a thousand pounds, that's hard for this country boy to even visualize ..:facepalm:.. thanks for your post, I've learned something (which isn't all that rare )

I stood next to the prototype in 2010 before Rick and Eric unveiled it and stood there drooling.

Its the GM LS-A which is in the Caddilac STS and new camaro. It is the LS-9's little brother (LS-9 is the other supercharged LS motor found in the Corvette). it is a variation of the LS-X engines, however marinized by GM. it is the same base LS-A motor that companies like Volvo-Penta, Pleasurecraft, and Illmore are using for I/O motors, however each company does their own tuning.
