I like two strokes better that four strokes. I'd love to see Evinrude tack a couple of cylinders onto their 3.4 liter, 300HP V6 outboard and make a 4.6 liter 400HP V8. Considering the 300 HP only weighs 530 lbs or so, a 400 HP variant should not weigh much more than 650 lbs. If there's room to increase the bore, they could probably make a 450 HP 5.x liter V8 that does not weigh much more than the smaller V8.
