I just signed up
Hey guys, my names will, just joined the site, been doing some reading and I seen where allison does not like 3 litre motors on the xb2002, I actually have a 3.4 250 etec ho on mine and I love it. Gets great fuel economy with some decent speeds. Can anyone fill me in on why this is frowned upon? I also loaded a few pics of the setup on pg.2 thanks again for the welcoming

Welcome aboard! Etec makes a great mota from everything I know about em but most guys LOVE Merc and being a recent convert to an old school V6 I can understand why. Plus all the parts, lowers, props and whatnot all tooled towards Merc makes it much easier to play gofast with them. Thats what its all about imo, not many disprove of ETEC, they just favor Merc is all.
But now that there are no more two strokes in Mercs camp, maybe that will change? Start putting up some BIG numbers with an ETEC and that will sway opinions im sure. If ETEC had some new super duper race props priced well, that alone would swing customers around on a dime.Hydrostream dreamin

I have been avidly reading everything allison for over 5 years every day. I own a xb03. The reason I believe it is frowned upon to run a motor heavier than a 2.5 liter mercury, is because Darris Allison believes that the likelihood of a barrel roll with the extra weight, is more likely. (yes, v-hulls will hook in certain conditions, but hook and roll is another thing) I believe Darris wants to ensure that his boats are as safe as a 100 mph boat can be, and so discourages the practice of using motors heavier, than what he says the boat was designed for. I certainly don't want to speak for Darris, it is just my observation and thought.
