Seems now that I do recall Evinrude, and Johnson snowmobiles. But, I
certainly know that you didn't get 80mph out of a 35hp wankel. No way
in hell. I raced BoaSki's, the last one with a 440 Rotax, dual carbs.
It NEVER saw 80mph.

Maybe the problem was FatassKisser.

I like to do some maths. 35hp/80mph = 164 lb of force. This means if
the full 35 hp was used to go 80 mph, the drag force was 164 lb. By
comparison, a car that gets 32 miles per gallon at 80 mph is using
about 20 hp of its engine output to overcome a drag force of about 94
lb.
