    Great video, love it. Thanks for having the speed in KM/H.
  • About 42knots. The acc was good, you could probably go up 2 sizes in prop, would give about 50knots. Well done!

    Hi there, I’m also building a speed boat using a bmw engine (m57 from an e46 330d with a stand-alone ecu) I’ve done plenty of research and most people seem to think the alpha isn’t a strong enough gearbox, I am just wondering how yours is holding up? I’m planning to use the slightly older mc1 which in lead to believe is pretty much an alpha. Thanks
