Mercury Racing Builds OptiMax Diesel Outboard
 
Just in, a very cool—and stealthy—project from Mercury Racing. http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...iesel-outboard.

A diesel with spark plugs, I like it.

Very cool, hope they make them in bigger HP models soon! :)

One thing I thought of was emmission. Goverment doesnt have to follow emission like you and I do, and I cant see a 2-stroke diesel meeting emission very easily

2:1 gear case? I would think a diesel could pull 1:1

How soon until we see a twin diesel outboard powered Skater or ?? Cat?? Twin 200's top speed 85 but gets 6 mpg at 75.
