if its just a used 2.5 powerhead your after & your not bothered whether its all matching............... Gregs gotta be worth a call, he'd mosty likely take your old powerhead as a p/x & may even offer to stand by what you purchase.

Basically I'm looking at anything that will push towards 80mph+ (and that I can afford ie XR2, 2.4, 2.5) again if anyone has anything that my be of interest drop me a line.
Cheers

dude you will need a minimum of 260hp to achieve 80mph in ya boat. you will struggle for 70mph with a xr2 or a 2.4 200

Burty, for example if I was running with Cye old F1 what do you think I could aim for?

Burty · 14-01-2007, 11:21 PM

Av gas, diddy prop and 10000rpm 80 to 85mph

So I may reach 80 then?
I only live 2 minutes fro the airport so avgas is no problem to me, gives me something to think about.
Thanks

it will smell lush and sound mental too, £1000 every 20hours in rebuild costs though

Spotted that before. It's been re-listed because it never had a bid!

Thanks, got a couple of options at the mo. And thanks for all the pms.
Spoke to Greg and hes got a coulpe of things on offer (both 2.5-260's), as well as a xr2 that sounds pretty good.
