Outboard Racing

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.

Check this black beauty out..

I strongly believe performance and racing outboards is good to promote and sell more outboards.
The new Evinrude E-TEC G2 is already a great success. Lots of power and best in fuel economy. On top of that the cleanest outboard in the world.

I wish Evinrude took my advice and started a performance division for us that love speed and competition.
After some computer help i came up with this.
The outstanding Evinrude E-TEC G2 Formula One V8.
We added two more cylinders to the current G2 V6 and here it is..
A 4.5 liter very powerful V8, fuel efficient and extremely clean outboard.
Is it going to be reality for racing..probably not but dreaming is what keep many people alive..

A production 400+ HP  Evinrude E-TEC G2  4.5 liter V8 is also a must to keep up with Mercury and Yamaha.

This is extremely good news and a new step for Shaun to be the 2015 UIM F1 World Champ.
