This Aussie gentleman loves to mess with a lot of small hp motors. He modifies them with similar ideas used by others on much larger outboards. The has come up with several of his own ideas. This video shows his transom mount water pickup, his reworked gearcase among other things. The view of the ge... |

A few takeaways from the video. - I never thought of margarine as a release agent for fiberglass on wood.

The fact he uses the bottom portion of a larger boat for his hull reminds me of the early days of small V bottom boats where we did the same thing and put wood decks on the fibergla... |

Mercury is the only outboard manufacturer interested in boat racing. You only need to look at motorcycle racing to see that companies such as Suzuki and Yamaha can manufacture high performance racing 4 strokes. They know how to build those motors.
