    Lars my association with F1 race car fans is they are not receptive to change. They are very much in tune with exhaust sound, and the last major engine rule change had them go vocally negative.

    Having said that, albeit the 2 Stroke sound will not be initially accepted by the majority of F1 race car fans. But if it makes more F1 teams competitive and the emissions friendlier to the environment, then I support the engine change as a step toward the greater good.

    Albeit Renato will not take that hull-shroud covering off until the boat is in the water, or the crane has it hanging just above the water's surface. Renato upped the ante, whereas some of the other competitors just hide their propellers.

    Some old shots I found while scrounging for the Gilman shots.

    The Merc Killer stickers I had on FrankenRude I. Was a great project that silenced a bunch of doubters.

    Ray Leach Vs a blown flatty.

    Best coned OMC case I ever ran. I added to the skeg which allowed me to run the longer torque tab compared to a stock skeg'd housing. Pinned the carrier and added a blow out ring.
    Ran low 100's a bazzilion times. Cut steering torque in half.
