Well apperently 9 out of 10 smugglers choose Yamaha outboards for a quick Getaway. this Rib (see Attached) was seized by UK authorities and was being used to smuggle contraband at a faily brisk pace. it was travveling accros the English channel from France. 250 x 8 = 2000hp!
Well i suppose smugglers are stupid so they have a stupid choice of outboard

Yep there hard to come by now those boats.
The clown that builds them has been locked up aswell.

[Wahoo]

how long would it take to cross the channel, that thing would burn 700++ LPH WOT

Took me great grand father a while.
He use to swim the channel with a barrel of rum tied to his back.
Then they sent him to Australia after he got caught. Did the same thing jumped ship and swam to freedom.
