@unitaper for a 29' with a single engine it is, typically that boat would have twin 250's on it so that single actually has more hp than the typical pair
@ryangdickerson twin yamaha f250's, which are about the same weight, and your going a couple miles faster. The only reason I would go with a 557 is if it had better fuel economy?
I dont know anything about boats, or boat motors, but I know what I like. Technology is a wonderful thing. How much does a motor like that retail for? about how much? Thank you .
First off in daily cruising a car pulls a lot more then 2,000 RPM, and actually this motor in various incantations has been in GMs rear wheel drive cars and trucks since the 50s. Its in the Camaro, the CTS, and the Corvette for years now. In fact this motor is commonly used in boats for inboard motors, and police cars in the 90s with the Caprice. Its a good engine.
I heard seven marine used V8 Cadillac aluminum blocks ! I also understand they are out of business. I saw a picture of a boat with four of these engines on it. 557 is the HP rating. I might be wrong about some of this, still a beast of an engine!
I would like to see how long is this motor going to last at a high rpm life, and I'm not talking wide open, this motor was design to cruse around 2,000 rpm not 4,000 nor 4,500 rpm
i lov the boat show spectaors, backwards cap, shorts,hawian shirt n beach sandals,they ask about everything & want to test ride everything,but buy nothing haha
strange sensation, having an eargasm while your eyes are bleeding, isn't it?can't agree on the "waiting to build up speed" part.video of suzuki naiad that has 4X300 hp engines is visibly punching the throttle waaaay before planing speed.I'd say that it would most probably be due to cooling.its a big chunk of metal and punching it would heat it up maybe faster then it can cool itself.I'm anxious to see what 7marine comes up with next...hopefully somethign that does not make you sick looking at it
@unitaper Incorrect information. Heard it cruised at around 65+/- 1 in the mornings of the show. Think about your logic for a moment, two drags, less horsepower, and more weight and you're actually trying to convince people that twin F250s are better.
@dgeddings you can't just retort with "single engine" when the single engine weighs over 1k pounds. Twin yamaha f250's which weighs a couple pounds more than the 557 and are actually faster than the 557...
lol. those people can't even stay put of prison after getting wrongfully convicted of murder. how are we going g to trust them with our hydro engineering g needs??
The only people that care about life expectancy of these motors are us broke MoFo's. The Millionaires that buy them initially really don't care. They buy them new. Put 100 hours on them then sell the boats for a new one. Those of us that buy them second hand have to put up with all the maintenance problems. Poor us.
They're not worried about the longevity. Rich people will buy these and use them a couple times a year. Just like Ferrari's and other over-priced toys people blow money on.
"there goes the yamaha boat"...c'mon swing it around and race him !...HE does pull him down though then later around 4:00. I must say though this reminds me alot on my dads, 255 DV Stieger Craft with single 300 verado. With the bracket and outboard the length over all from prop to nose is over 29 feet and the boat does 51.8mph WITH PAINT! Cant say I wouldn't love to have one of these hanging off the transom though!!
So will the lifespan though. Diesels last forever as long as they are well taken care of, kinda like old school 2-strokes. Keep gas in the tank, the engine clean and well cared for, and she will purr (or rumble in the old school engines) every time you turn the key and won't stop until you turn her off.
I was thinking about the OXE engines. How am I the idiot? There is a thing in the world called misunderstanding, and it is a rather simple concept to grasp, learn it and while you are at it learn not to insult people over simple things. . Insulting people never gets people far in the world.
I've never been an outboard fan, but this thing is Over The Top!!! Bravo!!!
yeah im curious to see the long term reliability of this outboard....
I'd say at this time it's proven that point
@@tomlompa6598 yeah by now. Notice my comment was from 7 years ago. Lol. When i posted that comment they were literally just coming out
@unitaper for a 29' with a single engine it is, typically that boat would have twin 250's on it so that single actually has more hp than the typical pair
go Badgers!!!!! Beautiful motor!!!
Chasing down the Yamaha triple boat with a single engine, love it.
That motor is a beast.

Is that a supercharger I hear?
I’ll provide an answer 8yrs late: yes
@unitaper With one engine on that size boat with 6 people that's very impressive.
Silly question, but this is a 557 HP motor? or is that just a modle number.
I heard seven marine used V8 Cadillac aluminum blocks ! I also understand they are out of business. I saw a picture of a boat with four of these engines on it. 557 is the HP rating. I might be wrong about some of this, still a beast of an engine!
557hp ?
I would like to see how long is this motor going to last at a high rpm life, and I'm not talking wide open, this motor was design to cruse around 2,000 rpm not 4,000 nor 4,500 rpm
it still works though right
i lov the boat show spectaors, backwards cap, shorts,hawian shirt n beach sandals,they ask about everything & want to test ride everything,but buy nothing haha
Wouldnt 2 verado 300's be better?
No
siñgel v12 60 best 2 gears 20 too 24 oerc keßs full mire rábfe 😎
How many ft ?????
ah yes i forgot the lsx, you would be correct on that... beast of an engine especially for an outboard....
Max speed? 45kn? 82km/h? 50mi?
Problem is the lsx just wasnt designed for constant full throttle runs.
53.8 mph (=46.75 knots) I think this boat actually looks much faster than that. I would have guessed 60-70 mph
WarthDader74. 50 knots
Yeah my dad used to have a boat with only 250 hp outboard, but hit like 41 knots
Wow! that's great! Did the yamaha come up for a race? Trips against a single? Love the sound!
Nice seven outboard

I believe it is the LSX 6.2. The LS9 makes 638 hp while the LSX makes 557 for the cts-v and 580 for the camaro zl1
Zach Davis lsa actually
How much does the boat run with this engine on it?
The engine alone is $68,000.
Audio problems with video. Am very interested to learn more. Would like to have heard the dialogue.
Looks "Old School" Something from the 50's
Did you just totally catch the yamaha boat with triples?
I think that boat was cruising.
@@wchampion8406 yes sirrrrr!

mano exelente motor que poder saludos desde venezuela y cuidalo mucho que aqui en venezuela apenas siguen estando los 40 y 60 yamaha pata corta
Comment l'avoir
Bad ass motor built in Wisconsin!!!
lol. those people can't even stay put of prison after getting wrongfully convicted of murder. how are we going g to trust them with our hydro engineering g needs??
this man has a point!
The boat ist too heavy i think, because it's not very fast for the ammount of power. Our 17' RIB does 50mph with only 90hp.
they are showing how strong and powerful the motor is by putting it on a 29 foot boat
Anything above 25+ usually always have 2 outboard engines.
Don't forget it's a deep v bottom and 10000lbs. Your rhib is flatter and less drag and weighs 2500 on the trailer
90 hp jet or 80 hp ejtrç
turn down for what
53.8 mph was top speed 557 on a 29 foot boat he is scooting pretty good!!!

Om punya saya ada mesin kayak gitu kalo saya pakai jank plate mesin seven marine nya lebih hing om

motor seems a touch 2 hi, lot of cavitation
can use a jack plate
no you havent seen a bullet bass boat yet
That sounds good, but for some reason when they were first designing these motors I thought I read LS1. could be!
A great engine
good job
isn't this company out of business now?
@unitaper Impressive for a single engine on a 29!
actually ls1 is a 5.7 liter.. wouldnt this be the ls9? ls9 is a 6.2 liter
it's 557hp
nice lot of horse power you beat that other boat tif
I want one on my 9 foot inflatable!
If u want to sink sure

Thats a bit 2 fast for a fishing boat, isnt it? :p
Put three of those on a fountain 38 Center Console and your running triple digits
Walter Gulley yes my friends has that and he hits 104.2
Walter Gulley they also got 627s
fate vedere questi motori e i defetti ve li dimenticate
557 hp outboard = $79,000
2 x Yamaha 300 hp - 600 hp = $60,000
Be sustainable bro!
If one motor dies , you still have one to get home.
the motor is ugly because its color is light blue, red or black would completly change how it looks. By the way it sounds awesome
At that price you would think they get rig of the umbilical.
they use that in a vette. i think it'll be fine.
53.8? nothing special for a 29', right?
It's awful loud for a supposedly modern outboard.
It's a supercharged 6.2l v8. (cts v and Camaro zl1). Sounds pretty quiet for what it is
The cost of this motor will make you faint
So will the lifespan though. Diesels last forever as long as they are well taken care of, kinda like old school 2-strokes.

Daebakmonkey, Very well said, calling you and Idiot over a mistake makes him the Idiot
One yamaha 250 weighs more that the 557, the yamaha is the heaviest outboard ever made
u obviously have no fucking idea about outboards. yamahas v8 350 wieghs 800 lbs
click on the vid near the top right of the recommendations, looks way better in black and red
that engine sounds extreem
Che spettacolo
These weigh a little more than 1000 pounds. a yammie 250 is not heavier
That noise from the engine is like music to my ears............captain, let me show you how to drive it...........lol......
56 to 73 mph
You know, calling Gery Garcias stupid makes you look...well...stupid..... He has a VERY valid point........
most powerful 0-60 mph boat this vs SRX-4 0-60 mph
That motor is so expensive it's pointless.
Yeah, I'd agree. I mean who REALLY needs a 557 HP Outboard?!?
ChaosOfSpartan don’t know that anybody NEEDS one but that doesn’t stop me from wanting one. Never be able to afford it tho.
si c est evinrude qui a pondu ce moteur il y en a pour 3 ans et apres on peu le metre a la poubelle comme tout ce qu il fabrique.
actually nevermind, that motor costs around 70 thousand + us dollars
Now imagine 2 engines
Chào bạn
Если на оку установить)?
i sure wouldn't.
I'd need at least 2 fitted... just saying
Its no different than any other marine inboard engine, and they have been around for decades.
I can imagine its not the best. Compared to the CTS-V of which the engine is out of it will only be marginal if that.
don't think that's gear whining. pretty sure it's the supercharger spinning ;)
Хочу такой же глиссер на своей пвх
Я тоже...но можно улететь в небо.во всех смыслах....

dam thats bad ass
Mantap
I want that salesman’s job....
Runs like my mercury 9.9
this is a cool outboard but i can go by 3 350hp motors for cheaper than this a and have way more hp not hating
35⁰ eirrç out buàrds best
Очень хотелось бы увидеть этот двигатель астрахани
twin yammie 250s on a 33 goes faster,,, so whats the point of the big sloppy pig?
