XS85 Racing Outboard?

http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/F211832

Anybody know what the story is with this? 110hp sounds interesting...

Can't seem to find any info through searching :-(

sounds like an 85 to me. Eric Smilie will know the spec on a 85XS... didn't Steve Pile run one of them on Hydrophobia?

110hp Jackanory me thinks.

Hi John

85 XS 85 hp at the crank if you where lucky , only real diffrence from a std 85 was the water pick ups on the lower part of the gear box bullet , 2.3:1 gear ratio , we had to rebuild the gear box every race . Same lower unit apart from the ratio , as the 150 XS , because the class had to a std engine we could not alter the ratio.
