.

Well Im going to attempt the cast crank. The engine is 385 hp to the prop but the engine is limited to 5100 RPM. As far as being easy on it Ill try to take it somewhat easy. I have to ask HOW WHAT and please tell the story and what boat was this in? Looks like cast internals but why was it not happy with your build? Did this crank break under high RPM because with that I would expect much more damage....to the point water is leaking into the boat.

Pretty much sums it up and it reaches further than just OSO. It's everywhere... The answer these days is to get a center console with 12 400's or a lightweight cat with 450's that are reflashed and then ad a big stereo system and you have your sound...lmfao
