I couldn't agree more, I thought simon Motorsports did big bore kits for mercury 3 liters, was wondering if an xs stroker crank would net 3.4?

Do you run conned of sportmaster lowers on the e-tecs?

as much as I love mercury outboards, they need someone to one up them so we can get our super light 400+hp outboards da@mn it!!!:boat:

I run lightnings on the singles and offshores on the twin. ALL coned. This is a motor I did 4 years ago. Still have it.

any idea where you are hp wise? rpm range and of course...can you build me 2 with 3 year warranty on each LOL.

Yes, cant say, and nope. I'm not posting #'s anymore. Everyone gets into a passing match with me when I posted results in the past. Anyone can look up results of any of the races/shootouts I've been too up in my neck of the woods and draw their own conclusion. I hate not being forthcoming, but it's just not worth it for me to prove anything to anyone. I've run Merc's before, so the 2.5 is not new to me. I'm looking forward to hearing the 2.5's screaming behind me....Like I said, I'll decide if I'll keep the 2.5's after the boating season is over. I'm just stoked I got a 28 Skater!

Motor looks nice. Have heard good things about BRP. There was a 28 Skater that was done with etec's that went over seas. Here is a video of the boat on YouTube. Looks like they need some solid motor mounts.

I understand...bad azz looking with the carbon fiber...looks better than those proto type 400 merc :(

Those motors need a lot more than solid motor mounts! Lol! I've talked to Salstrip a few times. There doing good things...

Larry congrats on the 28 Skater, seems like a cool project!
Keep the pics coming. How reliable are the E-tecs? if you go that route, would you go with the 250's HO or 300's?
