To me V8 really makes no sense, everybody from road vehicles to auto racing are moving to less cylinders not more.

Cars are going to less cylinders with the assistance of turbochargers which don’t package well in outboards.

Has that Yamaha VMAX motorcycle vibe. i just ordered a new 200 Merc. No regrets after seeing this tho. Sure they are both fine machines.

No way. The motor looks like a Tron helmet.

My 2004 F-150 Yamaha has that. It’s not new. I figured they would have done something REALLY new, if they were gonna redesign the entire housing.


I miss my old F series motor. Put 1000 hours on that thing and literally the only thing I ever did to it was the scheduled maintenance and replaced 1 sensor. Sure can't say the same for my SHO. The SHO has been an ok motor but nothing like my F series.

I don't hate it but I prefer the current look just based on pictures.
