Sean, I was at work last night went you sent me the pics.
Didn't have the chance to reply.
You're getting into one of my style projects...
Just keep getting yourself in deeper and deeper...
Next time I get a weekend off, maybe I'll head out your way.
You've got sofa space, right?"Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

I can actually see the photos on these threads, so apparently someone with a camera has stolen Sean's identity........... I approve

Take this for what it's worth, but from what I've gleaned... #3 has small shaft internals and a deep lower, #3A is like the 3 but with bigger internals. #4 is sort of like a shortly #3 and a #5 is like a shortly 3A. That's what I got from reading through some stuff and talking to people. Whether it's right or not, I can't really say. I have been fantasing about putting a speedmaster on the boat. I believe Tunnel Vision ran a #4 on a box and Daredevil Scott happend to have one for sale I think (might have been a #5) so it kinda fit...
And there's your overly described internal monolouge for the day.

08-31-2009 04:24 PMAlmost correct,,,but the #4 also came with a big shaft and later polygon upper gears and was almost as strong as a #5 also the lower housing on a #4 is a tat faster then #5,,,upper is the same and they have the exact same dimensions.
And yes i still have a few 4's ,5's,3'sand 3a's !!!!!
The polygon #4 big shaft and the #5 and 3A are rated at the same HP ( 750-800 HP ) they can take up to 1200 easy ,,the reason beying rated @ 750-800 was because bacj then this was the biggest engine package from merc.Last edited by DAREDEVIL; 08-31-2009 at 04:29 PM.

That's what it had on it before I bought it (3a, I think)... I know the hole is bigger so you probably wouldn't have to fill, just recut. Only thing is, I don't know how tall the drives are but I'm guessing they're like a TRS (longer) so you hmay have to fill if the new, higher cutout wouldn't cover the bravo hole. Also the motor would have to be pushed forward to make room for a trans...
