With the cost and life span of the new 4 stroke outboards and the arrival of small, light, low maintenance and less costly IO motors,
maybe there is a place for these motors in performance boating and even racing.
Put one of these is a 300 lb., 15 foot V hull and it would be a nice combo.

Features:
1.6L (98 CID) GM based engine
100 hp
5600-6000 rpm
373 lbs
Sturdy cast iron block with aluminum heads
Compact scroll design composite intake manifold system; reduces noise, increases power
Single Overhead Cam (SOHC)
No valve adjustments for the life of the engine
Multi-port electronic fuel injection
Crisp performance and turnkey start
Closed cooled block, cylinder head and exhaust system with long life 5 yr coolant for low maintenance
Self draining seawater cooling passages
Translucent power steering fluid reservoir
65 amp alternator
Engine Guardian intelligent engine protection system
SmartCraft compatible
MerCruiser easy engine oil removal system and quick connect freshwater flush port for sample maintenance
Design protected for 3-way exhaust catalyst system
Remote spin-on oil filter

100/300 hour service intervals

YOUNG PEOPLE MAY LIKE THIS CONCEPT:
You can play with this using aftermarket parts and your computer.
Would not take them long to get 200 plus hp.

The vazer program was killed by mercury a few years back. It didn't work....i think that weight is without the drive and transom.
