If you have never got to see the Gases Team in person you are missing out. Talk about a show and a party lol. I enjoy those guys and the show they put on when they are around. |

I'm basing it on what I was told about the engine? I don't have any pictures, why don't you give them a call if you have any questions. Sonny's has been making all aluminum chevy style hemi heads for a bit now.
This is called Roof (pentroof combustion chamber) Hemi is derived from ,, Hemishpferical ,, People that see a spark plug wire entering a valve cover automatically think its a Hemi ,but its not like that at all. Also the sophisticated valvetrain is what has been used for more that 50 years now by Mercedes ,BMW,Audi,most Asian cars etc ,and is called overhead camshaft and is no biggie . The Smartcraft is just a CAN BUS network system that is been used for almost 2 decades by Mercedes ,and is a great system ,wich saves a lot of wires. |

The second Gasse boat is/was Bob Bull's canopy boat. I remember one of the announcers on the Key West livestream Sunday said, they chose to use the shaft drive boat. So that would be the that one.... technically making them both race but who's counting. :thankyouthankyou:

I ran across the mercury blog touting how awesome the 1350 boats did at loto.(I 've read it multiple times but today it was irritating) If some of these motors are 1700's that's pretty low of mercury to claim that their 1350's ran so fast. Makes you wonder if any of the stuff they write in that blog is true. I may not be in the market for a 1350 so who cares what I think, but I might be in the market for a 565. maybe all the 565's boats have been tuned up too look good at the launch too? Why put out info that you know not to be true? its one thing if a guy turns his 1350 up, its another if he is factory testing and they put info on there website knowing its false info.

That's good to hear the OL boats were moving, Its also Crappy that the info needs to be cleared up. Why not just say 4VQC family in the MTI`s and not specify 1350? I would be a little irritated if I were builder a dealer for mercury, If MTI was only builder running the 1700's it makes everyone else's hull look slow by comparison, especially when they are reported as 1350s
