Gulp
Considering my old 150 Johnson of a similar age did around 2.5l a mile, god knows how much of a drink problem that will have.
I bow to the petrolators big brother.

Yes but think of the ride forget adding Nitros oxide to a big 2 wheeled kwak or Suzi, open the trottles on this and enjoy. We should buy it betwen us and see how long someone can drive it before being thrown out I suspect Matt (Nos42) would make a good test pilot for this.

thats because they were built and rated for a max of 75 hp. In 93 a buyer wanted a Suzi 115 fitted to a Sparrowhawk. Osprey initally refused but he persisted so they eventually fitted one to a new rib. A year later he still hadn't broken it so they upped the hull rating to 115 hp. But 225? well you should have taken it for a test drive. Is it in anglesey ?

I can't remember where it was when I contacted him. I'll try and find the photos he sent me as they are quite "interesting".
