Oh Man, did that thing ever take off like a rocket, right out of the starting gate!

Seems an incredibly good runner and sounded to be running exactly the same both forward and backward, which is always a very good sign!!

I suspect that would make a speedboat out of most any craft in the meter length size and would really come into its own in something like a heavy displacement tugboat!!!

Impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL as you said Daniel, I wish my horse in the last Melbourne Cup had come out of the starting gate that fast!

Very impressed with this engine.

There was a break in the heat today and I've been working in my shed on a few mods.
