Heres the info on the new Yamahas

[Matt Gurnsey]

Keep in mind that these motors are a ways away from being available.

While price information has just been made available, I don't expect to see these motors until early summer. Suzuki has been showing their new 60 for months now, but it isn't available yet.

As far as the new Yamaha 70, the new Suzuki 70 / 80 / 90 were redesigned last year, and their weight is very good at 341 pounds. Suzuki also has offset powerheads on all motors 60 horsepower and up now.

Hey Matt and others: Bringing this here from another link where Roger/SENSEI is selling a motor...and felt this better fit this link and would keep us from "hi-jacking" Rogers attempt to sell his motor. We all know how we can "wonder" off topic....

Info on the Yamaha Offshore motors...or at least the larger ones.... 225-300 hp range.... on the upgraded/new V-6 4.2 liter ....

Introducing the Next Generation of Yamaha Offshore Outboards
Yamaha proudly announces the next generation of V6 Offshore four stroke outboards, the F300, F250, and F225. Purpose designed for offshore use, they all feature 4.2 liters of class-leading V6 displacement, yet with significantly less weight than their predecessors, thanks in part to “break-through” engineering never before used in marine engines. In addition, all models can use Yamaha’s new Command Link® Plus rigging system. Complete with Yamaha’s signature four stroke convenience, and reliability – as well as corrosion resistance – they represent the absolute leading edge of
high-performance offshore outboard technology.
