Infiniti and marine applications with the QX56 motor

Could it be that Lexus/Toyota was just 10 years too early?

Premium fuel was under $2.00 then, does fuel efficiency matter more now @ $4.00 - I think so.

Hey Rick, why don't you get them an Epic hull to stick that big old bad boy in.

I must be in the right camp...
I've got the smooth-powerful-economical Lexus 4 liter in my boat,
and that same Nissan 5.6 liter in my Pathfinder... and it is a WONDERFUL tow vehicle.

It's a far stretch..... but wouldn't it be awesome if infiniti does well and toyota decides to give it another go in the boat industry!!

Toyota is getting back into the marine business, a little above my means level though:

Very cool       two diesel v8's for a combined 730 hp. damn I'd love to know the torque numbers there putting out. I'm sure the numbers would be much more impressive than the hp ones. just one would make a great wake boat engine. I've always wanted to put a Powerstroke or Duramax in one.........i know im dreaming, but it would be sweet.

This boat was built same time epic was but the power's at TMC still kept it going!
