[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 479692, member: 3278"] [size=5] Just the opposite. The gearcase on the 4-cyl 75 is much smaller than the 4-cyl fat fifty. With the production fat fifty the fastest I have ever seen one go is 31mph. The gearcase on the fat fifty is huge! Now....if you are talking more modern engines such as the older 2-cylinder 50hp engines there was a series of 15" (short shaft) 75hp engines that utilized the 50hp gearcase. These engines were out to the public but mainly were used to race in E-Production and E-sport classes in APBA. They were indeed fast and could outrun most of the boats in the F class which were Merc 4-cyl 85hp engines. I ran E-Production for a while until APBA declared that no person working for OMC could run the production class. A good running E boat would or could run a steady 68mph in racing trim all day long with speeds over 70 set up for Kilo runs. [/size] [/QUOTE]
