Oh, sorry Oledawg, forgot to answer your question, good thing you brought it up Hevi Kevi!
Maybe I can blame it on the flue and fever...
The main goal with the project is:
A short shaft engine, well it will be sort of
, because the boat starts to feel a bit top heavy and most likely I will jack up the engine even higher.
Stock transom clamps with built in trim / tilt, because of availability of parts and reliability.
A gearcase that can take surfacing (for a long time)
The need for speed, I've kind of run out of revs with the 1:2,42 stock 3-cyl case, I am right at the limiter and swinging a 28-ish cleaver
I will be able to keep all my props, this is kind of important since I also have several Volvo Penta VP700 engines that uses the same props.
Using a stinger case?
I thought that when jacking the engine high enough the performance penalty for the big house (VS the Stinger house) would not be so big, I might be wrong here of course!
A fellow racer told me that parts for the Stinger case is getting expensive and hard to find and also that the Stinger case doesn't take surfacing to well, a bad combination if you ask me.
I'm sure I forgot something but I'll be back!!
