Probably some torsional vibration problems as well since outboards dont have viscous dampers and inlines tend to be more torsionally abusive than V engines.
Dang.

I knew you're one of the smartest, most analytical members on this forum, but this may set a record.

Much appreciated, but I dont know if that's right or not. Just speculation. I think theres engineering problems that would cost money and weight to address. I just suspect that after 3 cylinders, it becomes more of a size and weight thing than anything else.

What I'm patiently waiting around for is someone to make a 3 or 4 cylinder 4 stroke large displacement turbocharged gas outboard. The torque would be incredible and torque is what today's engines lack, at least the ones that arent massive.
