Nice numbers for sure. Makes me wonder what's going on with the Merc 565 boat, though. That boat was built months before the Ilmor boat and has been shrouded in secrecy ever since. Ilmor didn't seem to mind the numbers coming out on their project right away, even when they weren't happy with them. Nothing at all from the 565 boat. Hmmm....
LS-based engines will soon lead the pack in mid-power performance applications.

They are working on the Mercury 565 boat as I write this. Speedonthewater.com will bring you the story on that boat as soon as the folks at Formula are done with their testing and ready to talk about it.

The Ilmor 570/353 is getting a lot of press at Desert Storm. Looks like it's serving as a paceboat.
The Mercury 565 boat is....hmmm...?
