I am still trying to find out whether the displacement gain on the 90 was created by going to an unsleeved block - does anyone know?

I also wonder where this trend of having motors with the same nominal horsepower and quite different actual horsepower is going to go. Is someone eventually going to be able to get a 9.9 that actually pushes out 40, so they can ski on lakes where there's a 10-horse limit? I predict the party is going to end when someone has an accident and successfully sues the manufacturer for putting out a motor whose actual power is significantly higher than the nameplate power.
