    Exclamation Really incredible footage of OMC engine torture-testing in the early 1990s

    Many of you have probably seen this, but for those that haven't, you need to see it. These guys are tortue-testing OMC outboards and they seem to be enjoying it quite a bit!

    Looks like a typical Sunday afternoon in the State Boat

    I like the look of those boats - I wonder what they are

    Funny, I look at the video and think about how to make the test repeatable, quantifiable, and how to duplicate the testing in a lab.
