Here is something to think about... A 61x motor weights about 60lbs and puts out 65hp, each of those motors weigh lets say 10lbs @ 18hp, So the motor hp/weight ratio is much better with his set-up AND he dropped approx 40lbs.... This guy is a genius!!!

Well, I guess I should probably chime in here. I work for Briggs and Stratton so I think this is pretty sweet. Those are actually Vanguard V-twin, the commercial brand of Briggs and Stratton. The problem with the engines are they are governed to 3600rpm, so they may only put out 18hp but that's at 3600rpm. Just by eliminating the governing, assuming an aftermarket cam, you can get 25hp out of it. Now there are a lot of factors such as floating the valves and other things, but if he did it right those engines can put out big hp. We have one that has been dyno'd at 72hp. It's a pretty cool project, but I will agree that it going to be a dog. Plus with the engines being air cooled, I am pretty sure they will be getting mighty hot in the engine compartment, especially with two of them in there.

looked like a young kid doing a project, he was probably given the hull and a couple of motors and told to "do something with it"

props go out to the kid for completing the project, better than him hanging out on a street corner mugging old ladies

wether it runs as a turd or not i think is not the point, that kids looks like hes probably 12 years old
