When we were kids one of my friends dads had a handbuilt 21 foot speedboat based on a formula hull, guy was a marine diesel specialist and knew damn near everything about boats. He hung one of these things on the back. Only boat ive ever been in that had a gas pedal. Thing screamed when you punched it and the boat came up on plane. What a machine.

A friend of mine loved Evinrude outboards because of their power, their efficiency and he never had trouble finding parts for any of his outboards. From his very oldest outboards (at the time, likely about 20 years old) to his newest at the time 300HP beast he put on his bass boat, he always had easy access to parts if or when he needed them. I wish he was still around, miss hanging out with him and family on his pontoon, fishing the lake from before sun up to sun down.

I wasn't born until 1988, I was born in the rural USA (Pennsylvania, so I suppose "northeast USA"). As a child, say in 92 or 93 I watched "The Rescuers Down Under" many times which had a character named Evinrude. As an adult I learned about Evinrude engines and I've never been able to shake the fact that the implication was that Evinrude the Dragonfly was a nod to the small and powerful engines with the same name. Great publicity for the Evinrude product, though, I have much love for that little dragonfly!!!!

There used to be a couple videos on KZfaq of a guy that had one swapped into a sandrail and it sounded incredible. It was probably the single best audio clip for these 2 stoke V8s. Unfortunately it seems that the videos were removed a few years ago for whatever reason. There were a couple videos of it in the dunes running through the rpm range and a few videos of it on the dyno. Alas, it’s Lost Media 😢

I love Evinrudes. Doesn't matter how many cylinders they have, they just have this sort of punch to them that's hard to match with 4-strokes. Electric outboards can do that as well, albeit with a much higher price tag. Can't really decide between unhinged 2-stroke sound or the electric quietness, though.

Since the load in a boat is pretty much constant, these marine engines don't really have much going for them for road use. They have to make 100% of their power for hours so you can't pull the tricks you do for extreme but unsustainable power on a road wheel vehicle. A 4-stroke example is people trying to fit 3.0L Mercruiser engines into Hondas. Doesn't actually work out as good as the V-Tech (bro!).

I'm disappointed that there is essentially no information about the engine design. Yes, the specs are nice, but how are these things built? They appear to have the crankcase scavenging typical of small 2-stroke gas engines, but how does that work in a vee configuration, with two pistons sharing the same section of crankcase so a conventional vee design would have no useful pumping action? I did find an image of a 2-stroke V6 crank which suggests that each connecting rod is isolated from the next rod on the same crankpin by a disk, dividing the crankcase into separate chambers for each cylinder... it would have been nice to see that.

We would do 90 mph up and down the Lake and around Parker dam and casino and up the river, easily doing away with 40 gallons per hour when on it. Oh yeah, that was a real black hole, small compared to large boats, but that bottom end never lasted long with a surface prop and he didn't invest in a strong race bottom for that engine. Good times were had but with all these things, fast becomes not fast enough and the black hole starts requiring feeding ha ha.

OMC v8 set the world outboard speed record, and in 1980-1983 wiped the floor with Mercs but they changed the rules so no V8. thats why they didnt get known that well later on.

@ct1762 I saw thar coming a mile away. You do realize there was nothing left of OMC on that motor right? OMC ports look like a child cast them. Oh ya, that winners circle thing pretty much ends your argument anyway.

@@miketee2444 OMC has won a ton of races once again. the 3 cyl loopers both 49 and 56ci were untouchable and still are. yes merc has done amazing stuff with the promax/super mag, but OMC was really designing fishing motors for heavy boats and still held their own, especially off the line. i agree the port work by the mid 1980s was horrible though. just did a 130 looper with one intake port having so much slag in it im suprised it didn't break off. but i love them because they are easy to clean up.

Don't get me wrong, but you're spelling wrong the word "Mercury". 😅The accent is in _mer_ . It's _MERcury_ and not _merCUry_ . Thank for sharing. Nice video. These engines sound angry AF! Classic 2 stroke.

I have this problem often with many words. In my mother tongue, the emphasis is always on the first syllable unlike English (and many others) where this is not stable and often changes. I often know the right emphasis, but I do not catch it during recording.

I love when you do aquatic motors because that’s something I know absolutely nothing about save for what you have here on your channel. That last bit was particularly interesting to me, because I am a Volvo fanatic having own several. But leave it up to some bored Swedes.

Yea I hate to break it to you but the V8 was garbage. Heavy ate fuel like it was a Arab prince and in general had bad balance on the small boats it would need to chase big numbers. Oh and it was made poorly and had closed exhaust deck so big mods came hard.

Heavy isn't an argument because it's still lighter than the lightest stock modern 300 four-stroke. And yea they chug the fuel but that comes with the territory of boating in general.

Just go throw your money in the trash and dump the premix straight into the water. Stupidest "tech" ever. And I love 2 strokes, but these were trash. 4 stroke outboards are the best thing that ever happened for boaters.

There's no gas station at sea... So it seems a bit useless to me. It is impressive yes, but if you run out of fuel, in the middle of nowhere...? You can't push swimming it. You can't walk some dozens of meters with a can of fuel, in order to supply it. In the sea, you need something with high fuel range...

It was basically a racing motor. And there are gas docks on the water. This thing was never intended to cross large bodies of water in that's not the point.
