    1990 Pulse 186 with 200hp yamaha top speed

    Hey Brett, those are cool boats. Do you have any pics? I'd love to see a pic of the hull bottom. Like others said, the right engine height, prop and set back are critical. Have you measured and marked on your jack plate different prop shaft heights? Good to do, so on the water you know exactly...

    Testing a Pulsare

    We've had some great feedback on this and other videos we've done. Take a look at our YouTube channel for more. We have some video of our 2019 Allison Grand Sport with a 150 Mercury Four Stroke, and our 22' Activator project. Maybe we should do more boat testing with some new boats.

    Checkmate MX 2800 Outboard spotted

    Ran into the original MX 2800 outboard that was used for the brochure / website in Clear Lake Texas. Cool boat. I love the quad bolster seats. I do like it better than the 2600, which looks too bulky to me. The 2800 has better proportions. Website photo:

    Carl Kiekhaefer revolutionized the industry

    One thing that is crazy about Kiekhaefer, is that he was so competitive he would refuse to use solutions similar to the competition, so the Mark 75 didn't use a reverse gear, he made the engine shutdown, and the crank would rotate counter clockwise. This was seen in large vessels like submarines...

    Carl Kiekhaefer revolutionized the industry

    You don't have to be a Merc fan to appreciate the great American story of Carl Kiekhaefer, truly a legendary innovator. The more I read about the history, the more I realized what a great marketer he was too. The books mentioned in the article are great too, if you like history, business and...
