Do you have any information on it?  Is it going into production?  Why a 4 stroke vs. a 2 stroke.

Sorry, sometimes I take back what I originally write, for various reasons-

           changed the subject of the thread
           might have hurt someone's feelings or was sarcastic
           was on my own ego trip

Gregg, you have good taste. Can you borrow from your railroad retirement fund for emergency reasons?

Some more poop on the Mercs: They're based on the 350 Verado block. Supercharged, meaning blower. But detuned to 300hp.(?) Weigh a staggering 660 lbs!

That't be like hangin another boat off'n the back of mine ...?

These prototypes were sent to Italy(??) for testing. (What ... our water ain't good enough?)

I hear that! Once bought Heather four new tires and shocks, and a toilet seat for Christmas.

Judging by her behavior afterward she did not appreciate these gifts ...   I still don't understand? She needed all 3?

Mercury Racing did not even consider secret test Lake WBL and Don's Lake X. Guess we'll have to secretly test snowmobiles in the off season. Kip can help us.

Very good selection Gregg - sampling from Mercury, Johnson, and Evinrude. Where is the entry from Force?  Are we going to test in the day or night? Does WBL's 35 MPH speed limit hold for snowmobiles too? Think we should invite Marv Jorgenson? He would be an excellent driver, but then he would get bored driving anything under 150 MPH.

Sorry Doug I didn't know just guessin I guess.
No problem. Hardest part is when I see someone I ain't seen in awhile and they ask how she is. Then I have to repeat the whole sordid story of her addiction & eventual overdose.

Moral of the story is don't get hooked on pain pills.

Changed my mind Santa. I want one'a these instead: A Hartley. 2 Suzuki hayabusa motors grafted together. 400hp in 'stock' normally aspirated 2800cc form. Weighs 198lbs.

edit. Oops! Here's the correct pic. Duh ...
