Looks like Sterling is in the home stretch of this project.

What drives, IIRC 1500ftlbs is too much torque for the Merc 6.

Boat had 6's last time I saw it.

That's a great question and one I'll ask Peter Hledin tomorrow.

My guess, however, at least in terms of off-the-shelf rating, is Arneson.

7000 rpms that's spinning pretty fast

Great power from a great engine builder, but wow is that ugly...

About 116 revs per second. That is screamin for a big block. I like how Slender the whole package ended up. Nice Job Mike & Crew. The Owner should be Really Happy

Matt Trulio

Yes it is. But it's worth noting that 7,000 rpm is peak. You probably wouldn't want to keep it there for anything resembling an extended period of time.

My pleasure, Jon. I've followed this story for so long that I've developed a certain tenacity, if that's the right word, about it. I really look forward to writing a final piece that includes the engines running in that Skater 388.

Have a great weekend.
