Located in Mequon Wisconsin. I need to stop by this place sometime.

If you don't fish offshore, race cars and motorcycles, or rig offshore race boats on the weekends, you don't work at Seven Marine.

"Because they carry a base price of $68,900 - more expensive than a complete Cadillac CTS-V automobile - Seven Marine doesn't expect to sell thousands of these outboard engines a year."

^^^U didn't expect it to be cheap did you?? Plus it's not like they just pulled a motor out of a CTS-V and bolted it to the back of a boat. EVERYTHING (w/ the exception of the motor) is different when you put a car motor in a boat. The exhaust is much diff. and as they said the trans requires a few more parts. Not to mention the fact that this motor was designed to propell a car not a boat.

Yup, I e-mailed them on the 8th, but haven't heard back. I'll stop in sometime next week. I was geeking out that night, haha.
