Looking forward to seeing this, http://www.boats.com/boat-content/20...engine-coming/.

Look for a post-dyno update on this engine next week.

Matt some pictures would really help out Is it a new outboard?
Great report and info as always!

Sunsation,

This one is so early that they haven't taken pictures, and if they had the thing would be missing a bunch of parts.

Checking back with Mike D. at Sterling next week. I'll ask for pics ... and he'll laugh at me.

Thanks for the kind words.

Longevity @ 1700hp?

The 1550 was good for one race in Bud Select vs. Gieco in St Clair a few years ago. By the end of the race you could tell it was down on power. In a poker run boat, it would have to be watched carefully and probably torn down at the end of each season.

About the same as a kernel of popcorn at the movies...give or take.

previous motors were supercharged, this is twin turbo.

Dyno testing this week, if all goes to schedule, should give an indication. Before anyone gently, cordially explains to me that dyno testing is far from the "real world," see the key word: indication.

Mike at Sterling asked me to follow up next week. I will.

dyno testing twin turbo engines this week?

been wondering why I dropped our twin turbo engines off at skater awhile back and they are not in the boat yet... they are at sterling being dynoed this week?

What's the life expectancy for the drives?
