That would be very cool. My boat is not good for drag racing but I would love to see what kind of setups turned out.

WELL, in the good ole days, the cubic inch of that block was within a narrow enough gap that it ran against the 2 liter Merc, I'm thinking 99 cu in vs 122 cubes. heck you guys make a decision, I could be interested. fun out

This has been done and it died. However you know what they say, History will repete itself.

I think its a great idea, more affordable for the average guy or some of the younger guys wanting to get started in racing. maybe we need to look at what killed the class last time and see if theres a way to keep it going. Im sure there is a way to make it work without pricing it out of park too. There's several guys running 3 cylinders and having a LOT of fun, that may want to step up to a faster boat.

I would bet the problem is that in the big scheme of things, the price difference is not much. The cost of the boat, equipment, getting to races, etc. is the same and the engines are not much different in price.
