Haven't seen the full specs, so I don't know if I can fit twins on my 18'.

While it’s cool there is a lot of extra crap to go wrong.

V12! Wow! Pretty amazing where they have taken the outboards these days. Too bad Evinrude went away. A V12 two stroke would AWESOME!

 :chuckle: :chuckle: You might end up in a tree or at least your boat would. You’d be 1/2 mile away in the river.

And for the low, low price of only $78K each! Impressive specs on the motor, but a little too expensive for my taste.... Of course, if you have a boat big enough that it would work on, the price probably doesn't faze you too much!  :chuckle:

Lots of the big (50’+) MJM’s are outboard powered. Comparable inboard power is more expensive and takes up more room etc.

Those lower units look expensive to replace. You lose steering offshore and you’re screwed. With 7 marine going out of business someone had to step up for the big center console market share.
