    If that is a cut it is a very nice one. Is that the 2.6 or the 3.4? Stock gearcase?

    So..I guess those intakes are plugged, and this gearcase has LWP?

    Is this BRP, or someones personal project?

    Weight? HP? RPM? Gear Ratio?

    From the looks of it I would guess it's someones personal project. I would say that BRP would make a short mid and not cut one as this one is. As for it being something for the"MERC boys to see a lot of from behind" that will have to be demonstrated. A lot easier said than done. Still looks sweet for an E-Tech but still looks stock with a cut mid to me. Will have to see it in action against those "MERCS" to believe!

    It's definately a personal project. Maybe with a little help from a BRP employee but it's definately not a factory project. There's no money in building drag motors. Earlier this year an un-cut 200HO block mounted on a short mid pushed my Uncle's STV Mod-VP to 117 at Clewiston. That was with very little setup/seat time. There's a lot more to get out of it.

    Is that the new lower unit in production? and is the ratio 1:73 or something like that, how well does it hold up beeing surfaced? and how high can you run it with the water pick-ups where they are?

    This particular one looks like an altered version of the new case. The production nosecone is not nearly as sharp. I believe they have 1:71 gears. They are a bit bulky though. Somewhere in between a OMC V6 and V8 case. My HO gearcase had the side pickups similar to this one's and I couldn't run it nearly as high as I would have liked. I eventually had to go to a standard housing w/Bob's cone.

    I don't know about that Hydro, i seen a boat test come out with the 250HO putting up better numbers then the 300xs. I believe it was on a Ranger fully loaded bassboat. Which i can believe cause that 3.2l merc isn't going to compete with that 3.4l's torque. Better 0-30 and top speed,ouch...

    250HO comes in lighter, with a new and approved lower unit with 1.71 gears and lower water pickup. Crazy thing is that it kicks a$$ and doing it on the recommended 87 octane. Wow....

    Call me crazy, but i think that the 250HO will put a hurtin on that production 280 on a light race type setup. We all know that 2.5 doesn't like them big pitch props, but those etecs prefer them.

    It sounds good when you say it, but there again I will have to see it to believe it. thats some pretty big shoes to fill comparing it to a 280 MERC. That E-Tech aint gonna turn the RPM's like a 280 or even a 260 or 300 drag. Not saying it can't or wont be done, I just wont believe it till I see it.
