Yesterday was a new step for Marcus Friberg and his Nitra Boats.
A brand new race boat was tested for the first time just north of Stockholm.
This is also as far as I know the first Evinrude 250H.O V6 G2 used for boat racing.
A new boat, engine and class for Marcus and his Co-Pilot Anton Skwirut 2015.
This boat is built for the Offshore V-300 class and the plan is to go racing this weekend in Oskarshamn, Sweden.
Many new things must work..for example the “Fly By Wire” foot throttle from Evinrude, but if I know Marcus right it is going to be mostly wide open throttle.
The X-27 race boat was running extremely good yesterday and Marcus need bigger propellers for the powerful engine and I was told there is bigger props in the mail..
The new G2 from Evinrude is already famous for extremely good fuel mileage and less fuel on board is another advantage.
Well I wish Team Kemetyl a fun race season and stay tuned for more.
