Still more Reliable
 
Diesel is still more reliable. VoomVoom didnt have a single issue in thier 440 Yanmar Raceboat all season and they competed at the front all year with boats running 540hp Merc's. The boat runs mid 80's. We are building a 388 with 480 yanmars for this year's show and should easily run 90mph. The 480's always run a few miles faster than the 525's in all of our boats.

Some of Dan's roof was damaged, probably from the firemen doing their job.

Don't know what is going to happen.

Bobby's wife and son ran the restaurant. Bobby's been gone for years. No more boat ride and burger.

TD and Nico dissolved their partnership years ago.

Gotta catch up to the times man.

Brunello was going to put a 2 speed into his BPM box but never did it.

I'd love to do it, just need to find customers willing to purchase a more expensive drive.

Donzi Japan,

Our transmissions are made to order. Lh/ Rh/ drop/ raise/ inline / multispeed / fnr /rpm / torque /are all variables. We do not mind plug-ins or shafts they are prefered.

What kind of power to weight numbers does the Komatsu have?
