well I know that with my two Bayliners, the outbaord model numbers would let you know the horsepower. like 170 was 17 horsepower, 300 was 30hp and so on…so I was just figuring if it was the same deal, then that boat would have like 200 hp, with (8) 250 motors on it. I am by far the farthest thing from a boat engine expert…so maybe someone else can jump in and confirm. That would have been a wicked ride though. ---

Outboard motors aren’t even 2stroke anymore I don’t think. That ad is probably right for the motors. 250 is a pretty big outboard. If I’m not mistaken that’s around the same size motors the race boats run (like at the Regatta), but they’re small boats. Probably a pretty creative linkage in order to turn 8 motors at once, though. How would you hold the wheel full throttle and turn? ---

2000HP is quite a bit to have on the water. 300mph on that boat, i don’t know about that one. race boats don’t even touch those speeds and that thing is far from aerodynamic. think about what would happen if you hit a decent sized wave going 300mph on the water. i’ve gone 80mph on a waverunner and hit a wake, flew quite a ways. i’ve gone 50mph in a mastercraft and hit a wake, that was rough as well. ---

There are no waves so 300+ is quit possible smoothly… ---
