He's pretty easy on the lanyard. Never used and never stretched once!

Agreed. And the torque will be dependent on the rpm.

33 with 496's here, not a real drive crushing package.

No different than doing the same with your run of the mill ski type boat.

I gotta believe there's a difference between pinning a big-block throttle on an outdrive and pinning the average small-block throttle on a V-drive/transmission equipped ski-boat. If I don't continue to believe, my wallet might get skinnier.

Not to offend.....but the run of the mill ski type boat is either v or direct......

Completely different aminal.....(speeled wrong on porpoise)

Drives have two 90* turns and a flexible tail......something somewhere is gonna give......sooner than moomba

Are you suggesting that I slam the throttles??? You know the boats I'm looking at require baby steps in the throttles.
