Thought I would throw a wrench in the works...
I happened to spend a few days recently at the Miami Boat Show.
Lots and lots of interesting power plants.
Then I see this little 115hp wonder...
All-New Yamaha TR-1 HO Marine Engine
For 2016, Yamaha is introducing an all-new marine motor to be featured in its V1 Series and VX Series WaveRunners (excluding VX Cruiser HO).
The Yamaha TR-1 HO marine engine is the pinnacle of engine innovation. The TR-1 motor is 13 percent more powerful than the Yamaha MR-1 engine that it is replacing while being 40 percent smaller in size and 20 percent lighter in weight.
Yamaha achieves this by eliminating a reduction gear, integrating the oil tank, and using fewer and smaller parts. The result is quicker acceleration, higher top end speeds, with better fuel economy and more fun for the rider.
This little bomb comes in a boat that sells complete for $5,200, so it can't be real expensive me thinks. Super light, water cooled, super small, and would sit lengthwise in a car if you figured out the correct gearbox. :) Half the length of the engine in the picture is the waterproof airbox. I believe it has sort of a dry sump system built in.
Probably not cheaper than a 600 cc MC or a Rotax....
Just interesting to see the advancements since the Kent came out.
