Im stuck. Who builds sporties?

[Will hedrick]

I was wondering, you think the way that boating is changing now someone would be out there making the old parts and milling great pieces, sounds like a good business opp., as a lot of us would rather fix what we got ,vs. Buy the new stuff

Wait till merc comes out with their consumer 14" v6 or v8...then a lot of us will be forgetting about these. Especially if the epa steps in and forces us out lol.

Apx,I am really waiting to see the consumer model

Reynolds and Collabella for sure covers the east coast folks

I'm in my 40's and I suspect I will more likely see Jesus walk through my living room before Merc gives us a V6 225R model. At least I have time on my side.

I mean...they already have the markings on their pallets for a shorty motor that they don't sell. Not sure what that means, but the have an alignment line for a "S" motor. And the 60R Comes on a different pallet than the bigger motors, so why would they have an alignment line for a short dhaft motor on their big engine pallet?
I know nothing, but I have suspicions.

I tried to contact Shawn torrente about trying to get info about what might be coming down , but was not able to get in contact with him, I know that apx 360 only weigh s 450 on the 4L platform, that might get me to convert from my x motor, the weight is the biggest issue for me, I had a g2 on my 02 weighs 575, weighs way to much for my boat. But man the economy i got.

I toy with the idea of building one...but its a damn lot of work to buy a new motor, cut it all up and then by the time I get it done merc releases one for 2/3 of the amount of money I have in mine...that would suck. And yeah mine would probably weigh more than what merc comes up with

I have two 225X motors and keep thinking maybe Merc will make a new 3.4 V6 225 R model with Sporty available for some of us who need the lighter weight.

I think they would have done it by now if they were going to.

If you remember brother, I talked with you whenever I was looking for an x motor, if I had not found the 300... lol, pm me if you still thinking about it
