Physics of max speed/chinewalking
Yes, 175hp 2.5L V6 2stroke Optimax vs 200hp 3.4L V6 new Merc normally aspirated 4S
It will certainly use less fuel (though that’s not a real driver). It’s about 10kg heavier I believe so nothing too different.
There’s so many variables re 2S vs 4s, 200 vs 175, weight and hydrodynamic properties of the legs...
Either way it’ll be quieter and use less fuel! As long as performance is similar we’ll be happy. Time will tell!!!
I was just curious as to the theoretical max speed and chinewalking.
Need to do some holeshot times with a set weight, and say 20-40mph time’s on the plane, prior to changing.
