You can see why it went nowhere in the usa when a 45ci sst45 craps all over it

Racing any class with those engines always make a great class

solid mounts?
I have watched a few videos of that long shaft stock class and its a bit dodgy

thanks Hounddog
sounds like there are lots of options and sustainable/easy to find parts
I thought about a new mid for the 56 so it bolts up, 15" and solid mounts, go racing ( cut drive shaft)

Wow, large gearcase with propshaft just under and very low ratio was fast??
What caused that do you think, more diameter with low ratio would get you out of the corners I guess?
How many seconds in...

propshaft height is another way to slow boats down and helps safety re spins

Merc still building small engine carby 2 strokes but not for sale in the USA

How about the sound, a modded v8 merc will sound good, but the rest, yuk!
Look what happened in FIA F1 when they dropped the v8
Nascar with a v6?

I think the issue might be most of the engines are highly optimized to do the job they were designed for hence as light as possible.
Its not a LS3 where GM knows they will be getting a hard time....

but you had gears....

If they want to spend money get them to make EFI kits for old 2 strokes
create a new EFI controller for etec injectors now ya talking

I heard Merc tried to mod that 4s60hp lump on the European F4, it kept blowing up so it went back to stock?
Goes into gardian mode just getting off the dock and maybe down the straight, dont know...
