Crazy new motor

[bradshow]

I'd put that thing in my Larson, lol. Pretty sick indeed but yeah, $120k seems quite steep considering some of the latest performance boats out there.

3500 to 4000 is typical cruse rpm in a performance boat. And they could be sitting there for a few hours if heading off shore. And to top that off that is usually at 50-65% throttle position. So there is a decent load all the time. There are also a few boats running the LSA motors.

Exactly which is why I'm saying LS motors aren't great for boating since they burn oil at those kind of sustained loads.

It can be done right. The new ilmor MV8 is LS based and so are some of the new mercury motors going in the roll bar boats. (Mastercraft, malibu, ect.)

Roll bar boats? you mean wakeboard boats? Don't be jealous of people having more fun at the lake than you.

No jealousy. I'm not hating. I only use roll bar boats for wake surfing. There are literally 1000 miles of water ways in my back yard. So cruiseing around at 30-40 just doesn't cut it. We go from bar to bar and city to city covering a few hundred miles a day.

I need to come visit you... I've never lived near enough water to drop a boat in.

You would be surprised how much a STOCK engine can take as far as rpm's and time. We have ran stone stock big blocks at 4-200 for up to 35-45 mins, with no issues. The current set of Dart 555's we just built that our going into my boat will likely see WOT for up to 20 25 mins at time.. Anything that makes HP usually burns some oil. Check out the new Seven Marine out board 557. It uses a GM 6.2 with a tvs blower on it.

Those seven marine motors are awesome. I thought they were the LSA with a few small changes to deal with salt water. They are pretty heavy though compared to the merc 300's
