Monster Motor from Goodwin

I believe the m8's are shorter...that would drop the engines down lower....perhaps a better fit for those huge engines, not to mention a lower CG. M8's are rated stronger than the 6's. A durability plus.

I'm sorry but I'm more impressed with what they did back in the day with modifying off the shelf parts then what they can build today. That motor is a total one off (maybe they built a couple) and you wont be picking up parts at the local GM dealer. I mean it's nice but probably cost more then my house.

They flat out don't perform as well. But Bill is working the lowers to make them right

Here is a thread that I started 2 years about about the OL. Has pictures of the motors and the boat from the first year it was at Boyne.

Mike has had the boat out and they pushed it a bit. I don't want to say the top speed I heard as it's just hear say. The current owner won't run it hard
