:p:iagree: lol im wantin to lighting my action up and V8 the biotch!!:reddevil::reddevil: but the weight to hp ratio aint worth it... put my mota on that biotch and get it spinnin 9400 with a 24 like it does!! you will SHIOT!!!:reddevil::thumbsup:

I don't think you guys have any clue how light this boat is. The deck is as thin as a plastic water bottle. It would sink with a V8 and a Looper V6 weighs more than the boat does....

OK just so my foggy brain is up to speed, was this Dukes Vector?

Sure was.!:thumbsup:

a v6 looper would be fine on that comp, it doesnt weigh any more then that pos hyd plate and the 20in crossflow ;)

it might whoop some ass if its not a weight game, if it had to make weight it would be a different story :eek:

At least the Crossflow can still turn 7200R's after 32 years, better than any merc could do after 2 yrs. without a rebuild.:p

Uhh no... My LooperV4 weighs what a Flow6 weighs.. :D

everyone that says they are too heavy have never done it :rolleyes:

loopers 450 a flow is 400 with that plate/pump its close. If you put a looper on a diet you can shed 30-40lbs fairly easily. A barsh cowling and non fast track will get it down more :D

the way things are looking theres gonna be one with a looper on it next to my house :D

:eek::eek::leaving:

I know OMC said 450 but they were heaver than that when actually weighted with a scale... Some where there is a B&WB magazine at my house where JTjr did actual weights of motors with calibrated equipment and found what the manufactures were a little optimistic on the weights they published.

I weighed my Looper 4 at Bakers in 2003 with the same scale they weighed the boats with and it was 417lbs...:rolleyes:
