It's a secondary fuel. Cng or propane. Just google propane injection. It's not free power but cng is cheap, clean and a pretty decent power adder. Kits are pretty reasonable and a pretty safe way to do it

Weight is 1700 lbs with gearbox a 1075 merc is 1300lbs so yes they are heavier but more reliable, parts granted are expensive and hard to come by.
Speed wise I was in a 46 Skater with two of these the boat cruised at 90mph @ 2400 rpm and maxed out out at 110mph at 3100 prm.
