FUJIMO, or anyone, do you have any more information or pictures of this engine? Sort of a unicorn. The counter rotating props are fascinating. How did it shift FNR?Quote:

My cell phone rings, it is a customer with a pair of big Mercs and he is having problems. First I asked how he got this number - says the President of the boat company involved (shall remain nameless) gave it to him. The guy is a retired aeronautical engineer and everytime his engines fart he is on the phone. I listen to his questions/problems, etc.; Alex is taking this all in. I finally decide to get him into a dealer in his area and that seems to settle the conversation.Quote:

There should be more Deuce High's and Blackhawks, they are the futureQuote:
