By the way - Whatever happened to that huge-displacement V8 they were displaying a few years ago?
The 708 aluminum motor? www.allstarengine.com |

If you ask me the IMCO is a much better drive than all the mercs except the #6. It will go up to 1000HP. The ACE is rated for 800.

i hafta go with C Spray . . . . look at the history here
Volvo E-Drive, early 1970's . . . . . Merc speedmasters late 1970's Volvo Duo-prop mid 1980's. . . . .Merc BrovoIII early 1990's Volvo 280 mid 1970's. . . .. . . Merc Brovo late 1980's Volvo DPX. . . . . Merc Blackhawk Volvo IPS . . . . . Mecr/Cummins thingie Konrad . . . . . i still think the Ace is the same concept as the Konrad Kiekhafer Gorilla(some may remember that) . . . .Merc #6 if you've ever seen any of these products side by side you cant deny the similarities. i dont honestly have anything against merc. all of my boats have merc drives on them and i have been fairly happy so far (although i did just get my first Bravo boat) i do however agree with Audio if i had the means to build a new boat it would probably not have a Merc on the back. i would love to get my hands on a pair of DPX's now thats a well build drive. |

Also, when I talked to the rep, he only seemed to indicate that the Ace drive wouldn't be available for quite some time as a stand-alone product. |
