OMC 727 race motor

[LIQUID NIRVANA]

well i can tell you now theres a boat that just came out of the mould thats going to do exactly what you say!

its going to blow the big ionboards into next week!

two 3.3ltr slide front motec injected suicide machines!

with 6 inch trunks and quick foot gear boxes

I just knew an AUSSIE team would do it. 2 x V6 or V8 motors, Fuel injected, x 12" mid F1 Gearcase on a ski boat. Now that is the way to do it. An unexpected souce alluded to something special coming up a couple of months ago but never let on except for a request for pictures of a particular engine. I knew in my bones that this was it. Twins could just be the ticket. In the 1980's Single V8 F1's, routinely hit well over 140mph & sometimes 155mph on the race circuit. With todays technology & Aussie knowhow it WILL happen. Just let me in on the testing so I can get pictures PLEASE!!!!

That's what I meant sorry. Damn exciting stuff. I gotta see this.

These are some of the 6 x E-Tec powered tunnels running in this years Rouen 24 hour race on 3rd & 4th May.

6" mid F1 gearcase E-Tec 250 Private Entry of JM Rangotte. He has been running Johnson for many years. I think he has won or come very close to winning Rouen at least once.

Dont forget we had a twin V8 ski race boat in the 80's (rigged by my fellow Frankstonian 'Wheel Barrow' and you must remember Danny Bertels from Belguim and the very sad death of his father?
I was doing an offshore marathon at Eppalock once and there was some ski racing the next day, Brickers twin V8's made the inboards look very slow

Unfortunately I am on a continuous learning curve. Everything I learn I eventually share on my websites. Any info, photo's video's or whatever you can contribute I will gladly post & share. I have a new way to make it easy to find things on my sites coming up. Stay tuned.

This new twin rig is really going to be something else. I am looking forward to learning more.

I live in Nowra, New South Wales.

Working this weekend unfortunately. I have to get to some of these races & meet some of the guys. All this ski race stuff is awesome. "World Leading" is probably a more appropriate saying. You guys really rock.

Saw your boat on TV last Sunday (I think) On "Speedweek" Wicked sound. Is the "Motec" V6 3 cylinder on the Labsport. Can you give some specs, RPM etc (If in ain't secret that is).
