I know this is off topic but in the 70s my dads best friend had a 25Bert hardtop with two 300hp 327 chevys double hump heads and Muncie outdrives. The outdrives looked like 1957 a Chevy belairs tail with fins.Man when he opened that little Bertram up it flew and you better hold on. I loved sitting in the little fiting chair on the engine cover and listening to those smallblocks scream thru transom exhaust. We didnt have much range but 50mph in a boat that size surprised alot of other boaters

If you put a single 496 bigblock in a B25 with counterrotating prop outdrive, you will do mid 50's WOT and cruise at greater than 2 mpg.

it'll do 40+ with any small block v8s......even lumbering chrysler 360 heavy duty truck engines.

Heck I get 40 out of my twin six's, keep my head below the flybridge wind screen, half a tank of fuel and and the Mrs keeps her yap shut!
The coefficeint of drag on her yap is incredible, knocks an easy 6knts off when open at WOT!

That heap of PRECIOUS scrap metal sure brings back an whole lotta good memories.......I've got a lot of miles on a Mercruiser I/O conjured up from a junk pile.
To the right guy that could be Christmas in January

Bob,
Where are the drives located? If you are not there, who should we ask for? I am out of town and will have a friend pass by and pick it up. Donation to Patrick is no problem.
