Gas OB Pipe
The new Hanson gas OB pipe is very quite and very light. Has any boater out there run w/ the Hanson and got the engine "on the Pipe?" The required (Hanson) length was followed as suggested...any answers?...more header? ...what prop used?...would appreciate any input..not much experimentation here in California...let's move NOW for a gas OB revolution!

RE: Gas OB Pipe
The revolution coming Jay?
I am not so sure, although in saying that, I personally quite like the idea of a petrol outboard, I think the limiting factor being the available hulls.

RE: Gas OB Pipe
Glenn,
You're right on!...some manufacturers have to be adventuresome...and that's tough now considering wotld-wide economy...but there will be hulls available...some have been talked about on this venue..I partially solved the problem by designing and building my own hull...there is activity in the Southern states and a world championship, but the turn-out of OB's has been limited...what's the story in your area? (besides hull availability) Jay
