Ecotech

[dick stave]

I don't know where you're trying to go with this. I am looking for power to weight ratio, period. I don't give a s--t about fuel economy. If I thought I could stuff a 496 in a 16 ft. boat I would ( unfortunately I don't think I could achieve the draft and ability to pull it off the gravel bars when I got stuck running extremely shallow rivers). As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe they should have called it " The kick-ass little tuner motor" instead of ecotec to throw them off the scent. Gas engine thread.

With all due respect, d.s.

Damn Straight.... No Diesel, no aircraft engines that have no available marinizing kits! Ecotec or other GAS marinzable high power low weight engines only!

The V 10's in RV engines seem to run pretty hard and hang together.
Down hill in an RV still required throttle , so level or uphill is almost boat service.

Or do you need even bigger?
