So if I read this correctly it is just their smaller 2 stroke 40-60hp motors that are made over in China. Which really doesn’t come as a shock to me.

Side note when I went though the bass pro museum yesterday they had a 60hp motor with the side cover completely off it. Pretty cool to see. Not much to hem.

You’re going to be hard pressed to find an enterprise level manufacturer that doesn’t produce some products outside the US...

I love MTI. Those boats are the baddest things on the water. Can’t wait to see them next summer!

Another boat builder that has a big presence at the shootout is outerlimits. They make some amazing vee bottom boats.

That is bad arse. I know someone that put a MerCruiser big block in a Mid 70’s corvette. But that is next level

Jay Leno is a true gear head. I met him a few years ago at B-J and we talked about his jet motorcycle. It has a turbine powered jet helicopter engine in it that makes more power that faster it goes. When I asked how fast is it he said nobody has ever had the balls to find out! One guy had it up to 220 and got skeerd.

Jeesh. I freakin imagine he would!
