Strip- the PB Mag article mentions the torque curve - at 3,000 rpm it makes 500 ft pounds of tq- it also says "with electronic variable cam timing, we can build a torque curve that's almost like a diesel engine, but with a much wider rpm range.

Mercury's (Noah's?) formula for speed is:
Hull efficiency (Assume 250 for a late model V-hull)
______________________ (divided by)
Square root of:
total weight
________________________
HP
As a base line, an 8500 vee hull with fuel and 2 passengers with twin 525 EFI (really 540HP ea +/-) with a "250" hull efficiency = 89.1 MPH (hull efficiency is a constant)
The same twin engine "Rayar powered" boat (assumes right balance) with same 1080 HP but 1000 lbs less (7500 lbs) total weight = 94.9 MPH
Maybe Raylar just needs a better marketing program...

I have been talking about these motors on here in a couple different threads...they are awesome!!
If Raylar wanted some excellent exposure they would rig my 28 Active Thunder with twins and some Imco drives and I could demo for as many customers as they wanted!!
That would be a perfect application for those 550's!

Those numbers have to be drives, gimbals, and a fully-dressed engine, from exhaust manifolds to coolers, pumps, alternator, etc.
