Well that makes more sense. I don't remember where I got the info that the gear ratio was the only thing changed....didn't really make sense for a CT conversion.....you want to run a larger prop at lower rpms...gotta have a bigger gear case to make room for the 14-15" diameter.
While we are on the subject of CT, Remember the Scott Atwater 14 hp CT type engine, 1960-70s time line recalling. I forget the gear ratio and size of the prop but that was some LU for a 14 hp Toon Queen.
Makes a great difference to these by all accounts Mark. So impressed with what it does. I’d imagine the normal gearcase will be obsolete almost on these. The CT is so well suited to this engine. Be madness to get the normal one.
not sure if I mentioned, but there are now guys in the small power boat classes over here replacing their usual V6 2 stroke 2.0 class engines with the pro xs 115 2.1 litre version of this 115. Unbelievably they are competitive with the usual V6 2.0 2/ 150hp motor on the same hull. Incredible. Guys seeing a genuine 60mph out of these things. I think by now everyone is probably aware that they ain’t 115hp or even close to that. Haha.
