i just dont understand the point… other then the cuz i can argument i wouldnt think a rotary would build up enough torque to make it a good boat motor… not only that, but they dont like to hold sustained revs for that long… or a rotary could spool a gt42 like that without much load (since the propeller is pretty free revving) thats why most open ocean power boats use cobra jet motors, or large big blocks with superchargers (ie no need to load the motor to produce boost) ---

The coolest thing is the water/air intercooler because the lake/ocean water means never having to worry about heat soak and sub ambient air temps after intercooler. ---

Bump… 12 freakin’ rotors… probably going into a boat: > Garvin says it produces around 1400 hp in its current state of tune, but that number could triple with race gas and turbochargers.
