Bill, looking good!

My cousin is building a 50 CC!!

I don't know what he is doing for power but he was talking about diesels with a turbine.

I'll keep you all informed.

No Jeff, I don't believe it to be a a nortech. I have been informed he may be going with 4 Merc verados(currently rated at 275hp/motor). I was kinda bummed cause I wanted to experience the turbine.

Oh well. the verados sound pretty cool though... stock supercharged 4 strokes outboards! Should be interesting!

Hi, mike, how you been?

I certainly don't know the specifics or much about the engines or how they plan to do it.

Nope, I really don't know the name. I'll ask some more questions next time I talk with him.

Has been working on controls by wire for a couple years now...Call and ask him. Ed

Mike, looks as if you can get a triple Verado set-up now, if you happen to be a former President.
