I just bought this motor from my boss. It was bought new by Fisheries & oceans canada and it was in the water once(and that was freshwater). It was to big for what they wanted so you know the government they stored it until now. This motor is mint mint mint!!!! I bought it for $300. But what I was wondering, can I race modify it and put it on a hydroplane? I also have a 40hp merc sea pro on a 1/4 inch plywood race boat that will show me 41mph on gps. I want a hydroplane or some other design so i can kick *** in our short shaft open-modified class. The fastest boat is 50mph. Please help with boat designs or engine mods for either motor.
