    That's the theory behind it...whether it is true in the real world or not I don't know....

    ok its didnt get teched............

    i offered to let it be done if everyone else did the same, why is it they need to see mine and dont have to give thieres up, just cuz u dont win doesnt mean ur not cheatin...............i will repeat what it was, production powerhead, no internal work whatsoever, production ignition, production fuel system, production flywheel, production midsection, gearcase had a nose cone, had a bobs ex snout, which we closed up some, heads were cut, plastic reeds, rev limiter removed, i think thats more stock than anything else run out there, there is a big question as to some drag motors bein run out there on occasion just to catch me, pretty good sourse for that, funny, last race no hoods came off, how come?????????This is a development of a motor, we are playing by the rules all there is to it, and like all other instances, im sure there will be some to hinder the level of competition, i dont whine when i lose, just try somethin better, oh yeah, prop was a production unlabbed 26 chopper with a little cup added, so , so much for the exotic rumored modified motor, i will build that one eventually though.Face it theres a new hope for the future of drag racing,i think everyone in the sport should be glad of that.

    Up until the 250HO BRP couldn't really compete with the mercs, now the 250HO is blowing the doors, or the boating equivalent, off any 250xs in Australian ski racing all with a full 3 year waranty to boot

    i would love to see u out run my little ficshhin motor

    my lower has not been apart in the last 5 years i have owned it, surfacing it the entire time at speeds right around 100 and its always 1/2 full of water

    that 3.3 is a time bomb, watch out for #2

    well put it on a bass boat and loaded it down with fishing stuff , and i dont think a lower unit half full of water will run very long. You must have pinned your lower unit so the carrier want come out ? i have a friend that had one of those vennoms and it blew up anfter it had already dropped lower unit . How much does your boat weight ? Unless your motor isnt stock , those never ran very good.

    I could go on and on but who really cares, BRP is making greay strides with a great product. I just wish they had a Johnson line to go with Evinrude. A charcoal motor would be cool and I always liked the Johnson name better for some reason.

    I beleive Sea-way has the rights to use the Johnson name on their race motors, at least that's what I heard.

    THANK YOU. Finally someone who actually knows the reason OMC went under. They bought a bunch of boat lines and couldn't sell them off.

    the operating funds were gone..............

    long before the boat companies became the issue, the exectutives bled the place dry.

    well if you running around a hundred , than that means your in the 90's . I can run in the 90's with a trolling motor , three group 27 batteries , fishin rods , tackle and almost a full tank , stough all that in yours and see what it runs then , heck when i had a tr 21 with a 225 3.1 yamaha , i once out ran one of those 225 venoms on a stratos 201 pro when i had a fouled spark plug , i was running on 5 freking cylynders .

    Bassin10, You need to buy a GPS. You couldn't even smell 90 with all that junk your talking about in your boat. My mirage with a modified 260 EFI in full race setup with a 24p prop only runs in the mid 90's. You need to wake up and smell the roses.


    I was young and bashful back then.
    Today,...I'd just knock on her door,..hand her the crab dope, and say, "Rub summa this on ya booger. I'll be back day after tomorrow".
