Didnt they use multi speed gearboxes in offshore one for quite a while? I think they were band in the end.

I think they were using up to 3 gears in Class One until they were banned.

I spoke with Steyr's agent at the Southampton boatshow for a possible project with Cheetah, they were talking about some very fancy horsepowers if i were to throw the warranty papers away, the downside was that they want £25000.00 per engine.... very good power to weight ratio though, but for a heavy boat like Cheetah lacking a bit of torque.
