I've always loved the Mercs (2.4's and 2.5's with offshore legs) and the OMCs (both V4's and V6's). But I do still remember sitting on the wall to watch the start of the F1/F2 Diamond Race with six inboards on the first grid. As the second flag dropped and over 6000 hp was released, the noise rebounding between the concrete walls of the canal was incredible. And then only ten seconds before the next grid starts!

Macho outboard sounds - oxymoron.
