In Response To: Re: Bertram 20 Repower (Walter Kaprielian)

Walter,
Yep, I'm saying just that.

The down side... The 210 HP models (per side) are supercharged and fuel injected. The amount of wiring on these is substantial and there is a supercharge whine between 2600 and 3500 RPM. This is not an issue for me because 3500 is about 15 knots for me and where I consider the low side of cruise, anything lower then that I'm pushing water and not planing. My operating range is 750RPM thru 5000RPM. I'm not proped correctly because I should be able to hit 6400 RPM where the 210HP is. I'm still working on that.

I have some pictures of Gary's boat when RPM installed his 175 HP carb model. Dirt simple and Gary seems to be very happy, as are the other carb model owners I talked to. The extra HP and weight savings comes at a premium. Rotary engines are more expensive then the 3.0L, but I bet cheaper then V6's that start at 180HP.

By the way, Marine Solutions that Bob Lico spoke of is a reseller of RPM's engines and shares the same facility in Glen Cove on Long Island. It's really worth taking a look at.

I'll send you the pictures.
