1250 SBP Stacker

[@petehoskins1267]

Back in the 80’s we would social ski behind V4 & V6 OMC, but to go quick it was a Blue Band 140 Merc. Cheers from AU.

[@djs3484]

The tower of power Mercury engines were state of the art then and when running properly can still run with todays outboards of similar hp ratings. I for one loved the loud, screaming noise they made when dusting Johnson and Evinrude. My 115hp tower on my closed bow 17' cobia was able to not just keep up, but slowly pull away from my friends same boat with a 135hp Evinrude. As you said, good times I'd love to revisit.

​​@@hookednrolling2009 what does that have to do with my 115 tower dusting an almost identical boat with the 135 Evinrude?? I'll tell ya... NOTHING. Mercury Racing racked up more wins than any other motor back then where the. 2.4l and 2.5l V-6 motors were ruling the waves, pushing Talons past 120mph and the sound the twins made at 7500-8000rpm made the hair on your neck stand up.

Very different than my Mercury 150 4 stroke; what a classic and a blast from the past.

[@davidlawson3212]

4stroke is nowhere near equal in power

[@davidweigel2238]

@@davidlawson3212 My four stroke 150 has a lot more torque than the 5, 150 and 175 2 stokes I have had in the past. I have this 150 on a very heavy Ranger Walleye Series and the 4 stroke really is the ticket. Needless to say, you can hardly hear it run at idle and the fuel effectively is about a third less than any of my 2 strokes. Food for thought,how would you like to get your hands on the new Mercury 600 hp V 12?

Sorry to say they are almost impossible to get took me years to find them. Also they only fit on the early motors the 125 and 135 motors. trust me they are cool to look at but the sound is very loud and hearing protection is needed. Cool for vintage race boats but not pleasure. That G3 should be very fun with a 115 especially if its the newer 115 without the distributor. Should run around 60 have fun be carefull. Dale.

They are giving up a lot of peak power w/o chambers. Maybe propellers prefer a flat torque curve.

@@draftwood They do have to run strong from idle. Do 2 cylinders share each exhaust port?

@@scottm7341 I don't know if they share exhaust ports. If so that might explain why no chambers. You wouldn't be able to get a distinct pulse back to an individual cylinder,in correct timing, from the reflecting cone.
