Tons.
Mostly trying to get the ECU to work w/the mods. There are no Hi Perf fuel maps available and the ECU's (so far) are not adaptable. Gordon has one of I think six that were made by a guy at BRP before being escorted out the back door.
The power head is scary close to OEM configuration.

It is an STV and they are 19' and are laid up very, very well. I owned this one and is identical to Gordons. They would build them any weight you want though and a light one is a race boat not a lake boat. Get that one wrong and it is on owner not builder.

This is how you drive one if it will "only" do a 100 ;) THE most forgiving boat to drive fast on the planet. This thing will absolutely smack you in the head before it goes over backwards. I have another shot from the same day that is a bit clearer where you can see that the hull has not touched water, anywhere in the photo.
In other words, it is flying.

I'd love to buy an STV Euro with a 300XS next winter. From what I read, you just about can't screw up running fast. Mash the stick forward and hold on!

Seats 4, runs 120ish with stock 300xs power, incredible gas mileage, turns like an indy car, etc.

I enjoy this video of an STV River Rocket 2 seater:

Twin O/B,

You seem to be the resident expert on Outboards here and I saw something last night that had me scratching my head a little. Maybe you can shed some light on it.

We were eating out at a nice bar on the water adjoining a marina and a couple of us took a walk to look at the boats when I saw this...

I thought I knew most things "Porsche" due to my day job...but I can't find anything about these...OR is it just a "decal job"??? Maybe you can recognize the case design and shed some light on these as real or fake. FWIW, they were hanging on the back of a non-descript Pro-Line CC.

Here is a shot of the other side...

They are familiar to as the local Coasties run them. Had plenty of time to study the setup as we drift down the Houston Ship Channel. Chaps my ass every time I see that.

Store bought Hondas. Their big motors are 10 yrs behind in 4 stroke O/B technology.

You need to listen to a DCB mach 22 with twin merc drags...that will change your mind. You will not beat the power to weight ratio of the old 2.5 perf motors.

The sister boat to the one in the picture is for sale. Turn key.
