Re: Hot Boat Article
If it were me, and hopefully some day soon it will be, I would have John rig with the same X that he did with Krackmeup's boat...
Higher is not going to be faster. Fasteddie already proved that with his testing.
Good Luck Guys!

Re: Hot Boat Article
Now why would you want that?
We're not talking about an off-shore fishing boat.

Re: Hot Boat Article
No fishing, but imagine a race from Miami to New York and an engine application that doesnt break. Some of these diesels are only a few hundred pounds more than the gas engines.

Re: Hot Boat Article
There are some diesels out there that could be fast and reliable, HOWEVER, it will take alot more money of course. Me, I have to have a screaming normal classic american iron. Well, if anyone want's to wedge a Ferrari powerplant in mine I'm ok with that.

Re: Hot Boat Article
Remember, when I went shorter I also changed to a Sportmaster Lower which is slower to begin with. Not exactly apples to apples. I will try a spacer this summer, I can't see how it will help but what the heck. I'm Running 83 now.

Re: Hot Boat Article
You guys say that a diesel application is way more money than gas, but how much more? In the long run it seems like the operating costs are lower for diesel, but would a diesel that would put out comparable speed to a gas engine cost 25% more, 50% more? If a gas setup costs $35k for engine and drive are you saying that a comparable diesel would cost $45k, $55k?
