I still like the outboard Wankle idea. I don't know what prevented the idea from going further. It would be cool to hear one run

After just having our Mazda RX8 in for service and driving it again. I started thinking how good that little rotary performs. Smooth as silk and BIG RPM. So why not put that motor into a 16 foot V hull with an outdrive. They race that motor in the Mazda open wheel race car and it turns RPMs in the teens! In a light V hull or maybe even a Mod V hull this combination would attract a lot of attention. Has anyone ever heard of this type of boat? How about a jet drive? |
