New Envinude G2 Etec

[bgreene]

Read a comparitive report indicating the G2 provides " noticeable improved fuel economy and performance over current Etec .....

Hummmmm............ we'll need to find someone willing to put one on a V20 / V21 .
Minimum of 200 HO variety so we can discuss " how fast " etc.

Let's start another " biggest engine on a V thread " .....

I'd say an Etec 200HO and Merc Opti 225 is the biggest outboard I've noticed.

OK FINE... if you guys wanna buy one I guess I can put the hideous thing on my V.... I'll dress it up with an old Chrysler shroud or wear a mask as I go whizzing up the river at mach 2.5

I'd like to rig one of the 400hp racing outboards on my V21......just for a day.

Wellcraft should have had the max rated at 225 instead of 200.
Too conservative. The Evinrude 225 HO likely puts out 240 hp at the prop.

The V-20's from about the late 70's on were rated at 235HP, the V-21 was the one rated for 200HP.

Well then, there it is ......so a V20 with Rude 225 HO should run...... 55 ish.
Not too shabby

That's what my most recent purchase had, I'll have to ask the owner what he made top end, although I suspect his prop wasn't tall enough. My old 2.5 litre Mercury pushes my boat to almost 50 in flat water, but it's a rare day I can go anywhere near that fast. I'm looking to repower & my first choice is a 150 2 stroke. It seems the best weight to power bet.
