Thinking of installing a 425 XTO Yamaha

Go big or go home. I vote Seven Marine 627sv.

This motor is really something. Until gigem posted this, I'd never heard of Seven Marine.
Here is a You Tube video. It's a bit techy but interesting.

Forums cultivate opinions, and mine is that 425 hp on a pontoon so you can “show up” another boater is absurd. Similar to the guy who wants to mod a Ford Focus to out run a 911. It’s still a Ford Focus.... Why don’t you just buy a 911? What do you have to prove...?

I do it because “I” can. I’ve modified many cars over the years myself and if I had enough money I’d probably do the same to my boat.

if you’re not a “car guy” you probably wouldn’t understand

I can dig it. The gentleman asked for opinions. It was less the actual “modification” and more the stated motivation that prompted mine.

I apologize if mine caused offense.

It has been my life long dream to go 17 MPH in a pontoon boat!!!!

I just hope he goes through with it so some of us can enjoy and learn from his efforts.
They say he is pretty good at this stuff. ??

Cheers to the pontoon owner with a 425 HP Motor and a Throttle.
He has a 25 and a 425 and everything in between!
