Hey Moose.....that's funny!!! My opinion.....Small displacement engines with either turbo or superchargers to get HP is for race cars that only have a limited life span by design.

The funny thing is that I have a friend with twin 275 gen 1s. He loves them but they sure have been problematic. One time while his boat was in the shop getting a new powerhead I told him I heard Merc was replacing all engine mounting hardware with wingnuts to reduce repetitive costs on future warranty work.... I thought he was going to physically throw me off the boat.

At least you have tuna to troll for. I have to go out 90 nautical to get blackfins. Weather is starting to suck for the rest of grouper season here. Its gusting to 40 knots tonight with 8 to 10s for tomorrow.

You could always troll a Nazi Mullet. They don`t washout. Josh, you could always hop a flight down to Dixie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuhJZT5dnSc This is classic. The 7 as of now has 557 hp and 750 ft lbs of torque. 557/750. If they can get 800 hp with no issues, that is a game changah. I have the guy`s card who came in our shop. I wonder if they want a sexy, proven race hull to use as a test mule. Hmmm, Three TOP Mercs weighed around 900 lbs. One Seven right around 1,000. Hmmm |

I would love to try a 400hp once or twice, but I'm really interested in seeing how their 3.0L 4stroke 150hp would do on the back of a 23. Lots of reports of the 3.0L 150 putting out close to the same power of a old 2.5L 200hp fishing motor (without mods). The 150 is such a well thought out simple 4 stroke motor.
