Regarding our V10’s and Indy Drives, we are limiting new production for the time being, but are still offering full service and parts support for product in the operation. We will be focusing heavily on our MV8 engine line where there is more growth opportunity for us under current market conditions.

Have to ask and wondering a first post from OP and its about Ilmor not selling the V-10 anymore. Wonder if it is 100% legit. Just asking.

Does anyone know if this includes developing a high performance stern drive that matches up to the MV8-570? (not twin prop...)
The MV8-570 calls for 91 octane minimum. Would like to see a slightly lower HP version that can safely run on 89 octane.
Maybe a MV8-530(?)

Thanks, Ian told me in person that he was retiring I think in June of this year. A younger guy was taking over in his place. Wonder if the this news had anything to do him retiring and hopefully all the employees will still have jobs. A lot of those guys and Jessica are very good people.

They had been working on that for a few years w/ a 3rd party & I think the 3rd party let them down so I believe the Yanmar is the solution to all the V-8 stuff other than the 570 of which I don't believe there are many in circulation by comparison to their other V-8 offerings.

I'm beginning to wonder if boats are as good an investment as I was led to believe?
