It's not about the "stock" 1650. Both MTI and geico are cranking them way up. MTI is doing it with mercury backing and geico is doing it on there own. This isn't about running a crate engine. MTI has been testing for Mercury for years. Crc was a 1200 boat when there was just a 1075. And when the 1350 came out MTI was able to raise the rev limit and found 6800 made things come loose. All in the works of the 1650. Now it's making 2000 +hp.

So, you guys realize that anymore, the first team to pull the big honkin monster motors out, drop in 850's and finishes every race consistently can probably win a title......

I Heard Jasper is supplying the motors and their own factory mechanic for Geico now.

And just about everyone watching wouldn't notice the speed difference if everyone used smaller engines
