I'll just put this right here... Unreal Great watch.
I've always been intrigued with this build. Finally some movement.

Thanks,
I have a lot of time and money in this engine and I know it has not been in a boat yet, but at least we are thinking outside the box and trying to have a better option for you guys.

So far it has made 815 ftlbs at 3200 rpm. The porting we have should gain torque till around 5800 rpm.

I wonder if the apex seals will really hold up for 400hrs of boating at 1400hp spinning 8500rpm+... Looks real impressive none the less!!

We're not sure yet, but the tip seals I'm using are in aircraft running the same hp load and they run 6800 rpm for hours straight, some of them have over 2000 hours. Most of the time someone would not be at 8500 rpm for long periods., (unless they are trying to set long distance endurance records).
