Don Smith also used to be one of the best Outboard guys around.

Question is how do they perform against other drive systems on the market....like speed, acceleration, high speed turning and maneuverability.

Red face Re: Pulse Drive Systems

had one on a single engine 31ft 502 415hp 80+ MPH. On plane like a rocket ship. Excellent drive absolutely bullet in fact cannon proof just have to learn a whole new way to maneuver around tight spaces but once you master it you can put it any where you want in fact some places that you can not get to with a regular out drive
