Looks like 380 vs 400I'm interested in seeing (hearing) if the 1.9's run smoother than the 1.8's. I don't feel the need for more speed/power in our AR250, but a smoother and quieter engine would be nice.
360 vs. 400, and Yamaha under rates theirs a bit. If the throttle body is bigger it may be a bit higher.Looks like 380 vs 400
You can see the models that get the new engines in the Press release I just posted above. Below to make it easy!

SVHO is still 1.8L for now, but the new 1.9L does have a SC block-off plate so it likely will replace the SVHO at some point.They indicate on the site that both the NA and SC have 1.9's, at least on the 19'.

They don't have any decibel reading info on the boats yet as the current ones are prototypes. Once they have production models we'll get the official info.Ok, now we need some real world testing of the new engine. Also the rumor mill had it, that they did some work on bringing down the decibel level. Anyword on that?
Headed to on the water demo now, I’ll report back on the engine noise. I’m super curious about it.
