Pat yes I do like Merc. ( I grew up with every thing merc ), However if there is a new Y2K in my future, I will not rule out any other product on the market with a Proven Track Record. As long as I can get the motor/drive serviced at the shop I use. ( Warranty Work ). Hey Rick, as Pat said any imput on this set up ????

I'll give you the staggered BB/ADS, but no mid cabin stuff, and there's no way my kids are riding if the front of any rig that goes over 40...

Hey G,
I'm quite sure that these engines are service all over the country; they are optional power on just about any inboard ski boat.
What I'm not sure of is if 2 of these hooked to ADS drives would give you enough to push a 30' Super over 100.
If you have a shop that does all your service and will continue to do so, you probably ask them what/whose custom power they can do warranty work on.
I’m talking small blocks because I think Rick can make them fit in a short stagger without loosing the back seat.

Pat, just think of the ROOSTER TAIL following the Y2K with twin ASD 's !!!!!!

PCM lists them at 930lbs with a trany.
Coupled to an ADS they are going to be less than I/Os.
Maybe you don't need to stagger them...

Here's my thread from a while ago...

Anyone know how the one that is currently out there is doing?
The customer happy?
Willing to sell? buy used and whipple!

Never heard anything from the onwer, Rick ???

The owner is very happy. Saw him at the Patchouge Race. Says the boat is running 84. I don't think he's selling it though.
