Hi All,
With all the topics I see here on auto engines, I am wondering why there aren't more on Marine engines? Duty cycles are pretty close to aviation, and the engines are usually lighter. Some of the newest engines look like they might have some good promise, especially the new Mercury 115. Inverted, direct drive turning around 3000 making 80 horse, maybe in a homebuilt design like a Funk? Just dreaming......
