Its DFI, carburetor is probably a mis translation of throttle body

that boat looks like it was dinged up a tad? Perhaps the four takter wasn't enough to get out of the way of something.:D

Hey man,, if they would have strapped the rest of the boat up like the motor cover, everything would still be in one piece. As fast as it is loud?

Yes, that is their own dual pinion lower unit.

Now I have the correct details ... F1000 has been using the carbed motor in Italy and Sweden for a few years ... with the release of the new injected motor this spring F1000 can run in European locations that ban carbed motors even for racing. It is hoped that the new green motor will open racing venues for the class

Kenty Sjholm sponsors some of the fastest F1000's. His main drivers are his daughter 'Bimba' and his son-in-law. Kenty's racing number was 13 years ago and his team usually has a number between 10 and 15 on their boats.
