This thread is in reply to this T850canada Facebook post about the lack of success for the mercury outboard in Canadian EP-FV & T850.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561092717912Jim Whittington, Todd Clark and Paul Kryskow all had top running mercury 650XS outfits in the 1990’s. Paul returned to racing when T850 started in 2006. Paul’s choice for power was a mercury 650XS.
Paul won the 2012 T850 Championship and I believe he won a prior T850 championship with the 650XS. It took several years for T850 to be recognized in CBF as a class that was awarded points and have a CBF championship. Prior to 2011 we didn’t have that status. But we still recognized the winner of the class in TORC.
I am not sure of the year Paul changed from 650XS power to 56 OMC
