So, anyone interested in engine development and what is the latest and greatest.....we have a new engine being announced February 11. This Thursday! Check out Mercury's web page or facebook page to watch live details.
I wish I could remember the name of an Unlimited Hydroplane I saw the last time I saw them in Mission Bay. The sucker was powered by 8 of Merc's biggest power heads, 2 strokes. Sounded like a swarm of really pissed off bees. It was sponsored by a trucking outfit out of LA. The class rules were pretty open back then, rather than being a conventional hydro, it was a tunnel hull. It wasn't the fastest boat on the water that day, but it was interesting to watch. Oh Boy O'berto and it's Rolls Griffon had everybody covered that day, turbines included.
