Not for a few years.Looks great, but will you be able to get one other than on a new boat?
That's what I thought
If I had an older boat and wanted to repower, it would be a tough situation when there's so many choices but you can't get any of them

I plan to install a 2 X 6, salt treated of course, to the back of my boat and hang six of these off it it.

I would recommend a fiberglass bracket. The added flotation will offset the extra weight so far aft.

Ha, and I will then try to explain to my guests why they cannot use the back of the swim platform for anything except a mixer bowl.

Only works on open bow boats which covered with plywood and have mounted an extremely strong spotlight on to use while on plane.

Here is a great demonstration video of the new V10. Check out the suspension seating on the Lund at 1:35. I love the styling of this new motor. It is a 21st century tower of power.

I notice the word “torque” missing from the specs. The test boat on video was a bass boat not a 35fter. Hmmm.
