All I remember about racing with Ike's first version of support is that dispite all the talk of his big money, he never paid the prize money he owed us. When you are a little team with a small budget, you depend on the few thousand that is promissed to you for placing in top 3. So in my brief...

I was thinking only of a light in it somewhere. We should get someone to take this overseas to make a run of them. And have them make a chromed plastic prop as well. I still like the cleaver better than the chopper.

You can tell i've had too much time in these past weeks. In cast aluminum they are too expensive for the market. I started with this one and found that I can't find a prop that looks right. So I abandon that for something that would work with an existing prop. But if you don't have one of these...

I can soften the blow...

Thats a real Merc lab cleaver off an old champ boat.

I know this is going to sound weird, but, that kind of looked like ice.

different direction. 92mph

Sorry, one more... where does it pick up water cooling from, through the drive or remote on transom?

Works for me. Just for fun, the speed calculator says thats 110mph with the 725.

OK, and what about the weight? And finally, the length from transome plate to the front of the motor. I meen, how compact is the transmission.

Whats the measurement from crank shaft to prop shaft?

Hey Adam In addition to your printed material, I would think that first hand viewing would be great. If you could observe someone in the middle of a project and ask question would work better. Maybe take Shawn over to Ted at Speedmaster. And without bugging Ted, have Shawn go over all the parts...

The other side of that big EGO thing is, that nothing motivates someone's ego to do something about it more than someone eles's bigger EGO.

Actually the title of ''fastest single engine Vee bottom with unlimited power..." belongs to Gary Taylor and his Howard 28 at 130.3mph. We need someone who wishes to challenge that with a TUFF 28.

Actually, it has run 95.5 mph with a stock Merc 525EFI.
