They put out between 725 & 850 WHEN they ran, depending on configuration. I don't know of anyone in the US that ever kept them running for long. Torque was off from similar displacement BBC mills. Their association with Mercruiser was very brief. In fact, the only black ones I ever saw were in the Baja 42 show boat- maybe '87?

They seem to do just fine on the European circuit- maybe you need real Italians to keep them running.

Didn't know that.

I never could understand why they had so many issues- the basics are all there. I don't think I ever heard of major mechanical failures, just gremlins. I do recall one blowing water out of its spark plug holes in the pits at Grand Haven. Maybe '85? I think it was the Michelob Scarab 43.

I wouldn't want to have to deal with the parts- either getting them or paying for them.

[QUOTE=Chris Sunkin;2031232] I think it was the Michelob Scarab 43.

[QUOTE]

Was that Don Johnson's old Scarab? That boat was here (in Ventura Ca) for many years. Guy that owns "The Spaghetti Factory" owned it and ran it out here all the time until it sold (went to Michigan I believe) a couple of years ago.

Hey Mark, nasty does run them, but I don't know about how "Quite well"....There's been plenty of runs where he's had his own "issues" with the motors. Things sound bad though!
