Yeah, my boss at the shop spent the weekend in Milwaukee getting the rundown on that beast. New models for 2015, supposed to be the newest, latest, greatest in 2-stroke technology - more fuel efficient and powerful. Smooth, bang-free tilt & trim, over 400 color customizable shroud configurations, and get this - they're going back to electric shift gearcases! Electric steering too! We're hoping to have one delivered to our shop to put on a new boat in time for a boat show in September.

Barely resembles an outboard.

Would spoil the classic look of my 1987 CVX-16.

BRP must have found the designer of the West Bend Shark and pulled him out of retirement for one last job ....

All I have to say is I am glad I have an I/O

Futuristic style. It grows on you.

I think I know where they got the idea:

Wasn't the V8 outboard that Seven Marine had shaped like that? The 557 HP one?

I'd stick that on my CVX 16 if it didn't outweigh the hull.

Knew I had seen those "Seven Marine" models before...in an old favorite movie "Spaced Invaders" (which shows you how "warped" (pun intended) my humor is)

Did you guy read the sale's pitch ?

Single bundle cabling ...
Integrated power steering ...
2 gal. on engine , Multi point oiling ...
Etc, Etc, Etc, ...

Wonder how much ?
North of 20 G's I'd bet !
WAY NORTH ...

Fuzzbutt · « **Reply #16 on:** June 24, 2014, 01:30:49 PM »

I didn't see the pitch. I rather like the current design. This one looks too different. Like they have been driving Cadillac's CTS's too long.

Hyperacme · « **Reply #17 on:** June 24, 2014, 01:38:07 PM »

" Like they have been driving Cadillac's CTS's too long. "

That is what Seven Marine uses for power heads !

Fuzzbutt · « **Reply #18 on:** June 24, 2014, 03:10:35 PM »

It was a double pun.

Engine and angular style of the body panels.

V153 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 24, 2014, 05:38:44 PM »

Ehh, I still think it's fugly. My Water Witch might be only 1/100th the HP but it's lots purtier ...

(That's not mine btw but I do have an unrestored one just like it.)
