" We have 90 horse Johnson on our 2001ish pontoon that runs that technology.

rotorway's scorpion helicopter kit used an omc v4 engine, 115hp iirc.
the v4 was made with many power ratings, and extended to v6 and v8
versions which at 300hp rather strain the definition of 'outboard'.

"   My pet peeve is the lack of readiliy available synthetics to use in the tank!
" everything out there standard dino oil. For a very short period you could

it probably is better and more biodegradable than dino oils, and with
fewer toxic trace components.

" The only enviromentally friendly watercraft uses an oar or a sail!

no dispute there!  i'm a ragbagger myself.

surprised you can't find somewhere that gives you a hefty case-lot
discount.

this thread has brought me a vivid memory.  dad's second saab, the
mustard yellow '66 monte carlo i learned to drive on, had oil
injection.  this was back when the only saab dealer in the western
hemisphere was gaston andrey of boston, and we knew saabs had really
'arrived' when we had to tell gas station attendants -not- to add oil
to the gas.  btw saab's car operation was so small back then they only
bought one paint color a year, and while they'd have a little left
over from previous years you could date a saab quite reliably by its
color.  '66s were mostly yellow like ours; '67s were mostly pea
green...

amc content: my first two daily drivers - which lasted me ~15 years
between them - and the first car i bought for parts were also '66s.
