What ever happened to Land & Sea

[300x Stoker]

I have some older catalogs with the boat speed tests. Some with nitrous IIRC?? !!!

I have this plate that came on a 225PM. It came from Sanderson Marine Lee and I spoke about about and even though he did not do the installation he did say it ran well.
Someone else on here years back when I posted a questions about anyone having knowledge or experience with these plates someone posted they have been running it o a 260 with great results.
I did have to clean it up and drill 2 small holes so the bores would drain.

Here it is ready for a PH I'm about to mount on it.

I still run one of their exhaust plates on my Promax and still have a floor mounted trim in my laser. I used to love looking thru the catalogs.

they where located here in New Hampshire...........I've been there many times when they were open..they do dyno stuff now...but they're not in the same towns as before

Was a friend that ran one on a model 260 up here, he loved it.

Mike, totally remember that turbo! I always wanted to see one of them running in person. I was always of the understanding that a two-stroke reed-fed engine could never really operate efficiently being boosted. Wouldn't having any significant boost prevent the reeds from fully closing? Such a cool thing though!

Now would be a great time to bring the turbo back out !

Even with boost on the intake side, eventually the pressure in the crankcase will equalize while the intake port is closed and the reeds would shut. The reeds would still do their thing at idle and part throttle, when boost isn't present.

I don't know much on the technical side of the outboard turbo but turbo technology has come light years since then. It must have sounded some kind of wicked ! Mike

That does it, going to boost the CHRYSLER lol

Well, I had a set of Yamaha V6 billet heads from Wayne.

They were running way hot, because they didn't have any water jackets. The website called them "coolest-running heads money can buy".

I asked Wayne where that statement came from. He said "They run cooler than Land & Sea". He then offered to sell me a new version of the heads with water jackets...

Yep,I gave Wayne several $K for stuff that didnt work out of the box.

On Land and Sea, I always thought their catalog was the best part of the company.
I would like to have one of their dynos though.

I still think there's no reason we couldn't easily get 6-700hp out of a 4cly 4stroke under 350lbs the way turbo tech is today

I checked into the Dyno thing years back, they sure had a nice sales package.
I have 2 of their jack plates replaced slides in both got rid of the white and now have the black. On needed some o rings in the hyd, the other needed a motor, do like them for having motor and pump as part of the plate. Foot throttle in the BAJA is nice.

Sure, a small displacement lightweight direct injected 9000 rpm. Maybe a five cylinder.
