I thin one of those merc twinturbo V8 offshore motors come in ranges of 1350-1550 hp in a sport would be some good entertaining value..
Someone ran on in the marathon few years ago but was short lived..

23' Eagle sport with LT4, I'm a simple man.

but in reality I'd just like to finish my twin project...

Spencer King out of NWT had that boat. (White boat in the video)

Pretty cool motors those are, they have a 1750hp version now, requires a minimum of C16 race fuel, but that's a lot of power for a 9.0 liter engine at 6800 rpm.

Kanedog 2015-2019, thanks for the good times S&M!
Looks exactly like the boat I imagined a guy like you would run haha
Haha your comment made me laugh too. I knew you were a nice guy deep down behind the tough guy personality!
Now, imagine an old guy, shiny gold banana hammock and a beer gut behind the wheel!
Fun fact-The boat is almost 20 years old. I’ve had it since new!

the motor I heard was sold to miss geico for a back up lol that boat was cool, I think there’s a 600inch Kaase Ford twin turbo in that hull now but no ones said much. Great guys! Always took us under their wing And showed us around when we were young racers. Spencer and Russel raced my grandpa as well

with warranty as long as you play by mercury’s rules and let them see it when they want.

Just watching you sh!t on every thread like a attention starved child has gotten tiresome. Is that clear enough for ya ?

Just look at the positives that have come to light since I graced your thread with my mere presence-
1. Thread views went from 700-2100 in two days. U can’t do that without kd assistance.
2. The world knows you are old, fat, out of shape, “I was tough back in the day,” you better watch out, insecure, stressed out, unhappy individual.
3. There will be more views now. If you keep looking stupid, we might even get dis bish up to 10,000 views.
4. Sledders in Sicamous are unfriendly, unwelcoming, egotistical and just plain weird. It’s like they think there are No Sledders except Sicamous Sledders. Laughingly, this attitude drives tourism away, hurting the already crippled local economy. Haha, yep the same buncha geniuses complaining there isn’t better grooming or facilities.
5. johoolio is unstable.
6. Conflict keeps us all entertained and summons the real, deep down personality of peeps like you. Do you recommend peeps to go to a boring forum? No, ya don’t.
7. Kd is fat.
8. We can be friends, most likely internet friends, but friends none the least!

Just when I thought you couldn’t be a bigger moron, you go on ahead and raise the bar yet again. Haha I nailed it when I described you as an attention starved child. Carry on
