LOL

even that would require acrobatic feats .. the F26 was even stable

basically.. design. .The hemispherical combustion chambers create better thermal and volumetric efficiency. Thus, the engine can create more power without increasing compression. Valve placement improves efficency, too.

ok.. so my brother was able to make the trip up to see this boat.. ..although its near the end of season.. Hes got his commercial captains papers for great lakes.. The engines purr.. lots of power... , boat tracks true,, however, he states it seems one engine sits higher in the bilge than the other....

Hey.. up here in Canada, premium is running about $6/gal at the
corner gas station...
... and we're an oil exporting nation.. well, at least till China buys up all the oil sands and ships it themselves back home..

Thanks for the new info..

Im looking at a couple too, for some reason, they're all mid $20's here.. and theres one 36' sport fisherman.. at about $1000 a foot.. nice design though.. ..oh wait.. rambling.... ... got a line on one.. $10k.. bought last year from 2nd owner.. 1973..same as my f26 ... guy has no time ...
