Volvo Bought Seven Marine and shut it down bc it took sales from its POD drive. The GM 6.2 engine is much better than Volvo engines, the Seven tilts out of danger, the POD is a deep water engine only and outboards are much more versatile. Yes, Volvos make great cars, trucks and commercial vehicles.
I wont say they're not cool..... But for the amount of money each of these cost, you could equip that boat with a couple amazing inboard twins which would not only perform better but use less fuel and probably offer better running performance. High priced outboards seem counter productive.
I almost feel sorry for people who post things about the fuel consumption. As far as power to speed ratio. It takes excessive power to drive a deep V boat through the water at high speeds. Why you ask? the deeper the V, the more surface area in the water and more drag. Also, these boats are around 14,000 pounds. A car weighs about 3,500 and it's on roller bearings. Think people...
Derek Ortiz I agree, but I will say again, if you have to ask, you cant afford it. Anyone who drops 280K on 4 engines most likely isn't looking to be frugal with his money. I'm sure its not his only boat.
Truth. Not about the 280k though for me. A rig with that much power would probably be at least 600k and you get a hell of a yacht for 600k used. I'd get a center console just to have the 7s though.
right and wrong. 4 outboarders on a well built center console is more than efficient. ex nortech 390 with quad verado 400s runs over 100mph whereas a triple 400 is in the 80mph. key is having the proper boat and setup
The engines are great. For everyone who thinks 75 mph in a 36' cc isn't fast you should consider the boat design itself has a max speed. Yes the quads are overkill however, you should realize 75 mph for the quads is not their top speed. If they pushed that boat much faster the boat itself would become unstable. The engines, and additional props, could make it go much faster. Remember, its a fishing boat, not a cigarette or racing boat. The 557's at cruise (60 mph) burn about 11 gallons per hour each. The engines were never designed for minimalists. They were designed because the owners/manufacture saw people hanging triple, quad and quintuplet 300hp outboards off the back of fishing boats. For those talking about drag, two 557 sevens at 1,100 hp create less drag than three outboard 300 hp (900 hp), i.e. less drag more hp means more efficiency. These engines fill a niche for those who want more hp, pure and simple, and yes two of them are more efficient than three outboard 300s.
Absolutely awesome! Talk bout powerhouse 2 the max. Sounnds great too reving out at high speed! Bring it on. Go hard or go home! Wish I was on board. Get your heart racing!
You could run one mecury 1350 single for 200,000 and save 150,000 and be as fast if not faster but then you lose fishing space and only one engine. I think one of these is the same weight as the 350 and 400hp engines.
You mean the Dexter who is a police biologist and blood splatter analysis expert making 60-75k/yr at best with the Dade county PD, who also somehow owns a 150k boat and lives in a 1.5M waterfront condo... LOL.. Hollywood...
+MotoAtheist You do realize that some of the speed is determined by the prop right? I had a boat that I troll fished on Lake Erie and Lake Michigan. Was a 24 ft Pursuit with twin 150 Yamaha's. I put the lowest pitch prop on both engine so I could drive the speed needed for the lures to work in the water properly. I could go as slow as 5 mph yet, with the boat trimmed out running wide open I could get a top speed of around 60 mph by setting trim tabs and trimming the engines in right position. Put the right props on this boat and I'm sure it would scream across the water :)
Bill Hartman Do you seriously think they would be doing a test run using the wrong props? This was supposed to showcase the top end power of these engines.
+MotoAtheist There is nothing here to suggest your claim of, showcasing top end power, in the title or description. I have no clue what they were doing, no more then you do, in this video. My comment wasn't to defend this video. My comment was simply to let people know that a simple prop change, will change the top end speed of a boat. A lot of people are clueless to this.
It’s a shame seven Marine went out of business

Shit ill run yo powder in, just gimme the helm. They call me DRIVER!
Welllllll doggggggies, jethro!
Absolute madman
Warranty comes with a full time engineer
Cool
at that point you sell your boat and buy an inboard boat
All this guy needs now is a long plank to run across the transom where he can hang a couple more engines.
The outboards cycle together, like 4 women that have been living in same quarters for couple of months
Glad I'm not putting gas in this baby!

whell my boat has 28 hp yamaha almost the same
Matthijs Arends xD I cracked hard at this
nice boat, to bad it so under powered
2228 hp is under powered?? Bro quad 350s would do this boat good but were talking quad 557s and that under power??? Lol rip
If you have to ask why, you cant afford it.
As if it's cool to afford it smh.
Derek Ortiz Yes, its definitely cool to afford it. The guy has a house for engines on the back of his boat. lol
Meh. I mean they're cool, but you can get so much more boat for the money.
Derek Ortiz I agree, but I will say again, if you have to ask, you cant afford it. Anyone who drops 280K on 4 engines most likely isn't looking to be frugal with his money. I'm sure its not his only boat.

this is unnecessary. once you start adding motors the props dont pick up as much water. 4 motors instead of 3 maybe adds a couple knots, its a waste
right and wrong. 4 outboarders on a well built center console is more than efficient. ex nortech 390 with quad verado 400s runs over 100mph whereas a triple 400 is in the 80mph. key is having the proper boat and setup
Screw you, we're rich! (is their message...not mine...)
do people not understand max hull speed?
goes pretty slow for the hp
While we are hearing the blower the fish are hearing the v8 rumble and swimming for their lives haha
so fucking sick

Marine Seven outboards are 1100lbs each OUCH! A MERC 400 is about 700lbs I hear you on power WOW!
1,014hp*
Marine seven has more integrated systems, hydraulics closed cooling system so forth.
At 0:34 THAT SOUND.
top speed?
That boat must have beefy transom. I looked up those motors they are about 1,000 pounds each. That's 2 tons hanging off the end of that boat.
Music to my ears!!
Haters will hate...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How much KM/h?
Merobieboy Like 130 i guess
Made in WISCONSIN USA!!!
The more engines you hang on a transom the more drag you create requiring more and more horsepower and fuel to overcome.
If this idiot could have hung two more on he would have.
Ridicules.
how many barrels an hour flat out?
For what these engines cost, It's just not worth it to me. That's over 200k just in the friggin engines. Stupid
what's the point when you can get 75 mph out of triple yamaha 350s at twice the mpgs.
+Professor Fuzzy Mittens because 1050 HP isn't enough gotta have to full 2228 HP
that's it?
Lol
For when Insanely powerful just doesn't cut it..
lol, cameraman ONLY has 2x300 hp. Haha......
How much gas does that use every hour?
Everyone is complaining about 75mph.. The boat is probably 36' and is in ocean chop
+BlueJayMinecraft it looks like its 1-2 ft waves how the fuck is that ocean chop. Get serious dude, do you even go offshore?
Absolutely awesome! Talk bout powerhouse 2 the max. Sounnds great too reving out at high speed! Bring it on. Go hard or go home! Wish I was on board. Get your heart racing!
that's a monster!! crazy crazy sounds. in the boat must make your hair stand on end!

2-300's is bad ass enough! Then you see 4-557s fly by. $800 in gas everytime you use your boat just so you can say you have 4 big engines.
+You Lie according to there website quad of these babies use about 145GPH or 550LPH if you use metric.
+Žiga Troha So for 3 hours of boating that's 435 gallons. How much is that at $4 a gallon? $1700? Lol what a sensless boat.
+You Lie Your buddy has it made. I wish
+You Lie Yeah usually rich people are dicks. I live in south Florida. Saint Petersburg.
+HookedOnTheBay ST. Pete is not south Florida I live in Sarasota.
Damn thing screams like a banshee when it passes. SICK!!!
Transmission noise. X4.
I almost expect to see Dexter throwing plastic bags in the water!
You mean the Dexter who is a police biologist and blood splatter analysis expert making 60-75k/yr at best with the Dade county PD, who also somehow owns a 150k boat and lives in a 1.5M waterfront condo... LOL.. Hollywood...
75mph with 2228hp? Sounds rather pathetic to me.
+MotoAtheist I agree, They should figure out a way to make the boats faster without this wast of hp. I bet fuel is insane for these motors.
+MotoAtheist I was thinking the same thing..... all that money, hp, and fuel to go 75 mph... it is pathetic!
+MotoAtheist You do realize that some of the speed is determined by the prop right? I had a boat that I troll fished on Lake Erie and Lake Michigan. Was a 24 ft Pursuit with twin 150 Yamaha's.
