Big Boyz in the 1960's
I remember (as a kid) when the Starflite V and Golden Meteor (Johnson) were the horsepower studs in the 60's. I also remember watching the adults spread-eagled with their feet on the transom pulling these V4 beasts up for tilt as any form of power trim or tilt wasn't around yet. By today's standards, these things look teeny now.

Take a look at the new line of Merc V6 and V8 4 strokes. The cut-away diagrams indicate their engineers went to "stick like" mid sections like you were thinking about. I bought a ProXS two days ago. It will be MARCH 2019 before I see this motor in a box at the dealer!

Borrowed Names - Good Idea?
I'm not so sure it was a good idea to transfer the Strangler icon name to the 135 hp production model? Kind of an insult to the racing version. If anybody has any photos to verify it, but I don't recall anybody trying to run FJ or SJ with a 135 V4. These classes were completely dominated by Merc 1500's. Inversely, FE and SE were production Hustler and Stinger territory. I don't recall anybody trying to run the Sizzler in FD or SD either? Sizzler's image got a complete remake when OMC decided to give the SST45 / 45SS a try (still run as classes today). Does anyone recall if the SST45 and the 40XS (Mercury D stock replacement) ever saw head-to-head competition in a either a hydro or tunnel class?
