Merc 59 ci 60 block

[BRzuki]

They say it is 1000' buoy to buoy. I don't know if they use a range finder or not, but it is close to that.

We may end up shortening the race up a little to 800' but we are still throwin that idea around. 1000 race just he's the boats up to a high enough speed it almost makes the turns dangerous and we don't want anyone getting hurt. The nitrous boats will have to be ran against other nitrous boats. Won't be fair to anyone running motor alone to race someone with NOS. But there will be an after party at the sandbar afterwards for any of us that want to have race or run the rest of the afternoon ! Gonna be a good time! Duck boats against duck boats and race boats against race boats should make for a good time. And this is not going to be a set in stone race.... Meaning the rules can always be bent if folks just want to run unlimited

Since this is a thread about the differences in the 59ci mercs, what is the difference in the 40/50 and 60 cranks? Does the 60 have more stroke?

just different splines to suit the 40/50 box ??
