I would not even want to guess how much gas those 24 carburetors consume at WOT....:eek:
Not to bad..same 3.5 liter power-head we used for F1-V8 racing @Bob V
A brand new Merc 450R - V8 with today's technology burns 50 up to 55 gallon per hour WOT..no way my F1-V8 could do that.
450HP 4-stroke should burn around 35 gal/hr. not 55
@Rotary John
The Merc 450 R is super charged and burns 50 up to 55 gallon per hour WOT.
60-I believe-had one!Quote:

Stock lower under an f1 V8, how long did that last?
From New Orleans to St. Louis I believe!Quote:

This is the back up boat being rigged for the New Orleans to St. Louis event/record.
3 X Evinrude V6 235. Remember this was 1982..3 years before the production V8 came our.
