If those white motors keep getting better merkly will have to go back to work! Nils, Seckbauer is a man that takes heavy internals and turns them down to work in the XR6 case. This helps the XR6 sence if was made for 150hp and 300+ can put a hurting to it.
Thank you Jay!
About Merc 2.5 and other engines... I think it is awesome that smaller or seemingly smaller engines can run with bigger power. It's a cool statement! :big grin

What is the problem with a Steckbauer and everyday use? Other than the cost, which is steep.

It has heavier internals, but the case is still the old 115 Mercury case that was later used on the 150 XR-6 engine... The gears are strong, but big power or heavy hitting set-ups still stress the case from what I understand... Unless I was a hard core no cost spared racer, I put a heavy duty bearing carrier in a coned 200 case and never look back... That's the best all-around case for speed and practical usage out there IMO...

I think you will love the SS-200XS combo. Its probably the last effort made to accomodate a boat like an ally, and I loved my XS on my xb2002. While I was lured to the dark side of the 260, partly from peer pressure, the optipopper did about 90% of what I needed. Good luck, and enjoy what is probably the best all around hiperf combo ever created.

Aeneas--
The fastrike series was factory hop-up. Rude had one too. I'm not an omc guy (but have owned a few) and don't know how they got the x-tra hp/rpm. Carb or timing I'm sure. The height was to the moon as was the setback. (14-15 back, alot for an ss). The Fastrike series had 500 listed x-tra rpm @ 6000. They also had a new and funky (at the time) optical timing. Mine ran 6250 with the 30 and 2:1 gears. Do the math. It ran 83 on the gps on many occasions and on 4-5 different lakes. Of coarse I had to run the GPS in another boat to get the 83 and then tranfer it to the ss.---but the gps did read 83 in a ss with a 115.
I'm not sure if a v6 lower would bolt to a Fastrike mid. The old loopers and cross-flows would bolt v6 to v4--I think.

As for the lower, there were at least to 2 problems. The carrier would walk--someone discussed pinning it. The other was the minuscule propshaft, definitely a weak link.

Found that ss/115 omc in the archives. It was at the 50th Anniversary. I guess it was not a Rude but a Johnson and was coned...

Ice out today. I missed it as I got home after dark, but my brother has a web cam set up out of the cottage window.
I found this beautiful boat for sale and just had to post the pics... I just love the lines of the SS-2000.
This makes me want to order the tall race fairing...
SS-R.
If the owner wants the pics taken down - just let me know. http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-boats-watercraft-powerboats-motorboats-1998-Allison-SS-2000-Comp-R-Mariner-225-Super-Mag-W0QQAdIdZ272376585

That is a very nice looking SS. One thing to think about with the tall fairing is trailering. No matter how carefull you are with tilting the motor you will impast the fairing. I did it on my more than once.
