Meh. That's only 2 more hp than the 238 hp Renesis.

I don't see what the big deal is.

Any real idea of power output on this awesome monster? My very rough math shows around 1300-1400hp. That would be epic!

After the video plays, and YouTube loads the related videos at the bottom of the player, watch the one with the blonde. A turbo version of that engine is on display rated at 2,400 hp at what appears to be a boat show.

I guess 3,600 hp at 25 lbs boost. What do I win?

How about posting a pic of your boat with one of those bad boys in the engine bay?

Watch the end of the video where there is a glass of water sitting on the engine, it is so smooth there is not even a ripple in the water.
