It would be interesting MF, but the whole thing is a pain really. Some bright spark in Victa started the whole long shaft motor, only for a cheap steel deck (if Norms hypothesis is correct regarding the alloy bases of the time having regular shaft PTs, and he has a lot my experience than me at estimating what a deck would take looking at a picture of it), which makes my old plan of transplanting them a pita. I will keep them around and see what I can think of, but whoever thought this crap up at Victa deserves a good kick up the bum.
I just opened my Tornado up for an inspection of the crankcase to see what she looks like after 14 years; Spotless. The piston and bore are almost shining, and carbon? Zero. Makes the other motors, which are in pretty good nick admittedly, look like junk. And the poor thing is stuck on the worst Victa base.
Rant over, haha. What can you do.
