Powerhead doesnt even look like a powerhead...has a "Y" pipe that dumps exhaust into midsection, uses same pistons on both sides,has new design EMM, pictures coming. Pros running them at FLW tourney at KY lake now!!!!

 

[southkogs]

Y'know from the front it's almost kinda' cool lookin'. The rest is "iffy" at best: though, the "Build Your Own" section of the website is fun to play with http://www.chooseyouretec.com/en-us/

MSRP is $25,000...... lower unit is held on with 6 bolts and looks a lot like the Yamaha VZ unit, has a clear site tube so you can see if water in lower unit. Uses 6 starboard pistons as starboard bank dump down center of block like a 60 degree and port exits side of block and into side of midsection, The HO has the famous BRP seadoo rave valves that give it bottom end torque and top end. "Y" pipe is water cooled and also comes with power assist. Nto sure but may be electric shift! Motor is fly by wire and has no cables and takes about 45 minutes to rig. May have pics later.....

Wow, that's a very special type of ugly. That's downright hideous.

 

[the man]

we used to call something like that "f'ugly". a contraction of two words.

 

[boobie]

I like it. It was time for a change.........

The cowling reminds me of Seven Marines 557 OB.

 

[alanfox55]

I bet they sell very few it's so ugly!

 

[Rancherlee]

Was hoping for a re-release of the Johnson brand with new 4 strokes, oh well...... 5 years ago they knocked the heck out of "4 stroke" snowmobiles and now they make a bunch of them, hoping they do the same with the outboard division!

The digital dash is pretty sweet. I have seen a few rigs with these, and they are really ugly in my opinion. Seems to have some pretty decent science behind it, just missed on the design.

Man they is Ugly, Butt Ugly! What were they thinking? I wouldn't want to be seen with that thing on my boat, even if I could afford it I hope the technology is better then the cosmetics!
