this is pretty funny worlds fastest outboard not Merc...........▶ Evinrude V8 is the world's fastest outboard EVER- 176.556mph average - YouTube......
Joe what was the warranty on that v8,don't discount the Mercury midsection as well.now if you didn't care about warranty the g2 power head on a merc mid and gearcase that would be the ticketQuote:

That would be an interesting adapter plate. The G2 exhaust comes down as two separate streams to the port side of each cylinder bank. Once figured out it would make a fabulous motor but I expect a full custom mid might be easier than adapting one in this case.Quote:

First twin tuff? What is the weight diff between 2 2.5s or the 400r? We all know you made the twin boat run. Good luck with your new ride.
Pretty close to equal.Quote:

It shounds like the g2 will need a wingplate and side ram. This is not rocket science but will it void the warranty?Quote:

I ran my 36p bravo on a buddy's 21 rally sport 225ho etec. It got on plane fine but the boat was extremely heavy over 600lbs heavier then the fast sobs on here so it would never fly.
You can run all the same props as the merc.
thanks for that great infoQuote:

It continues with a great bunch of members that make up the S and F community. For those of you that know me, it is no secret that I have a love affair with my boats. When I move on to my next project, I get a little anxious about putting my "pride and joy" up for sale. It is extremely important for me to find a good home for my rigs. That being said, I am over the top thrilled that Joe Lanfranchi [Dirk Pitt] is the proud new owner of my Tuff and will be tearing up the bay of Long Island. Joe is a first class gentleman who has a passion for high performance. He is very knowledgeable, very experienced and takes meticulous care of his equipment. My kind of guy! I couldn't be more pleased with my "baby's" new home. I look forward to many years of our friendship. As much as I love to put new boats together, what I love even more about this boat thing is the fellowship among us go fast guys. I can't wait to see what power Joe chooses to install on the Tuff. Most of you are aware that I am a die hard Merc Fan as my trailer tag states. Because I like things that are different however, part of me thinks it would be really cool to think out of the box, get away from the mundane and go "white". Can't really believe I said that. We have to admit it is an intriguing proposition isn't it? I hope Joe selects his power shortly, the suspense is killing me!
Again, thank you to the entire Scream and Fly community!!
