had this sent to me. A must read for the powerboaters. take alook at the whole page from the link below and watch the 10 min video in the link to. Very cool

Neat but seems overly complicated for the sake of being different. Also the engines would not be 7.0l if they use a ls9 rotating assembly.

Seems like innovation to me! About time we see some more tech.

Well heck its something a whole lot different. Not A merc racing engine or Bravo outdrives nor a Cig nor a Fountain nor a DCB or Skater that we hear about all the time. I like different and the sportboat world needs some new good news. Just saying

awesome engineering! something quite lacking in the marine industry.......great job to all involved ........ hey mercury u reading ?

By letting the transmissions compensate for what probably is a narrow powerband instead of just going f.i. they also have a nice clean easy to service engine compartment there .

Weismann has been doing the multi-gear transmissions for awhile haven't they?

I wont be on the level of these guys but I just got my all alum 5.7l ls1 off the dyno here at work did 409hp with very conservative AFR and BSFC. this will be going thru a bravo drive that will be in a pontoon.

These motors a cheap to build, and weigh almost 400 pounds less then a dress BBC. For me that was the determine factor.

Thanks, Good read!

would love to have been a fly on the wall through the development of the Quickshift and all its iterations, that is some fascinating stuff. It is great to see a family with such a long innovative history, love poking through their website.
