The sound of a 300 HP Mercury outboard

I was sure disappointed. Wasn't at all what I expected. I've always enjoyed the sound of a powerful outboard. I expected this thing to really growl. But then again, I love the sound of any kind of powerful piston engine. Back in the day, I got a big kick out of sitting in the driver's seat and hearing that 140HP Johnson or Evinrude going down the lake at full throttle. Still do. Never had a Merc, but 300 horses here sounds like, well...wimp city. LINK

All I know is that it says Mercury on the cowling. Don't know what a verado is? Some kind of salt water fish?

I admit I don't know much about outboards. But if I had a full growed pet lion I would want it to roar and not go "meow". Let me HEAR them horses!

Do you fish or race boats? If fishing, why would you want a lion?

When you click the link this is in the video header, not sure exactly what you were expecting.

I was expecting 300 horses to be louder than a chicken fart. That is what I was expecting!

I'm not sure if the OP is serious. If rather have one of those 4 strokes than my loud 2 stroke that I have mix oil/gas with.
