Neat but seems overly complicated for the sake of being different. Also the engines would not be 7.0l if they use a ls9 rotating assembly.

Well heck its something a whole lot different. Not A merc racing engine or Bravo outdrives nor a Cig nor a Fountain nor a DCB or Skater that we hear about all the time. I like different and the sportboat world needs some new good news. Just saying

By letting the transmissions compensate for what probably is a narrow powerband instead of just going f.i. they also have a nice clean easy to service engine compartment there .

I wont be on the level of these guys but I just got my all alum 5.7l ls1 off the dyno here at work did 409hp with very conservative AFR and BSFC. this will be going thru a bravo drive that will be in a pontoon.

These motors a cheap to build, and weigh almost 400 pounds less then a dress BBC. For me that was the determine factor.

would love to have been a fly on the wall through the development of the Quickshift and all its iterations, that is some fascinating stuff. It is great to see a family with such a long innovative history, love poking through their website.
