I know Mercury sold Lake X at one time and now have recently re-leased it. How does a competing propulsion manufacturer end up testing on Lake X? I can see boat manufacturers using Mercury power prop testing and whatnot testing at Lake X. But not a competing propulsion manufacturer itself. Maybe was after the sale?? |

The new V16's from Sixteen power just completed an entire season in Class 1 offshore racing on 1 set of engine with only 2 oil changes. That is very impressive reliability for 1,100 HP! https://powerboatracingworld.com/jbs...sixteen-power/ |
That's great to see, I thought things were pretty quiet out of the Sixteen Power camp.

Very cool!
Smart on the bore spacing allowing standard Ls series head usage.

I had high hopes for those motors when they came out. I liked the idea of big power with a naturally aspirated setup. It was a shame it never went anywhere, kinda' like the V-sixteen engines we're seeing now. With Mercury's 860 being somewhat of a flop, it seems like there's still a place in the market for a 900-1,000hp naturally aspirated engine. I for one would love a set of big inch, 1,000hp NA motors in my 36!
it’s not that hard to make 1.5hp per cubic inch these days |

Chevrolet just released a Camaro with a 1000hp 632” I think it’s an n/a motor
it’s not that hard to make 1.5hp per cubic inch these days I suppose it’s not that *hard* but it certainly isn’t cheap compared to more normal big Chevy stuff. |

At 600+ cubes on pump gas, you need a fancy 9-15* head that takes expensive valve train and special intake manifolds. It also has nearly 0.800 lift.

That 632 has aluminum rods I believe. Not much warranty there lol
