    Default 1800cc or 109ci engine suggestions??

    Hi guys, been floating around the forum for a while, loads of great info!!
    i am hoping you can offer some suggestions for a suitable outboard to suit my new to me 15 foot hull. The rules here in australia allow for upto 1800ci or around 109ci maximum for this size hull.
    Its a pad vee bottom and is very light (i can lift the transom end from the trailer quite easily), i will be doing mostly long river races but also some club days circuit racing, mods to engine are basically free, just needs to run a shifting case as i understand it.
    I know an inline six is a good option, but i would like to know if there are any other good options?
    i've only played with v6 mercs but keen to try new stuff!
    Cheers, Jim

    the original OMC 140 at 1800cc has the most potential HP at that capacity class
    what mods does the class allow

    i thought mods were open but i just re-read the rule book and it seems i was confused by the way it is written, ithink the motor needs to be stock for the mono class and is open to mods for the open hull class.

    You might still have rules in the mod to keep it sensible like no sleeving under original and only stock crank stroke etc
    Maybe even stock looking powerhead?
