"Even with a 140 gallon tank we still had to bring a dozen gas cans on a grounds trip. I don't think you could pour fuel over the side faster than it could burn it"
That's funny Ken, well not if you are the one paying to put gas in the tank. I think that OMC V-8 was the only outboard that needed a 1/2" fuel line, and that was borderline at 4500+ rpms.
I knew an old OMC dealer who put two of those V-8s on a 29' Aquasport (around 1985). Lasted about two months and a trip or two to the middle grounds before he sold them, did not have enough fuel capacity....not even close.
