Designed to meet BSO requirements and currently pending certification, the 422 Speziell offers European builders and boaters a new high-output solution without compromising compliance, durability, or reliability. The engine will be offered in both inboard and sterndrive configurations.

"We 're proud to bring a 315 kW (422 hp) engine to this space-the most powerful in its class for Lake Constance-engineered to meet the lake 's stringent emissions standards and ready to deliver a new level of capability in the near future."
