Let us be safe and say more than 125 but maybe less than 150..:)
This is probably the strongest CC powerhead I used 1986.

Sooooo...., 149 hp.
Im impressed.
I think I’ve read that the V-4’s were in the 180’s so w/smaller, lighter boats, you were right there.
BTW, I saw an 8 cylinder (two opposed fours stacked) at a Pro race in Fla several yrs ago but did not see it run.

(two pinions was standard from OMC)
The 31 engine came 1988 and heavier boats with safety cells about the same time.
I don’t think the 31 engine (starboard exhaust) was more HP/ faster than a CC on methanol, but more reliable/ easier to work on.
The real UIM OZ class Burgess racing boat..not a rule-bending heavy inboard in a box hooked up to a stern-drive..!!..:) :cheers:Quote:
