Yamaha 350 HP 4stroke

[Seaharrier]

Last weekend my dealer told me Yamaha is going to introduce a 350HP four-stroke before this summer.

Is there someone who can confirm this?

[Roy Smith]

The men a the yamaha stand at London said it will be out this summer
But its big and about half as heavy again as the 250, he said its for the American market, he also said that it should have the cableless controls like
the Etec.

[Roy Smith]

Sorry what i ment is that there main market will be the USA.

Yup it's true - a 5L V8 with duo prop apparently. Bet it will be seriously heavy as it's a 4 stroke as well.

Makes you wonder where's the progress - you could buy big V8 outboards back in the 70s!!!

It will weight approximately 350kg...

First V8 outboard. 1963, though perhaps not a production model.

I assume this is another one of your disposable comments.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with your comment.

Oh right, so technology hasn't moved on since the 70's.
