Default Is this genuine?

Hi, just wondering if this is real or fake? If it's real what kind of performance does it have? Thanks.

Can be found cheaper particularly if the mounts are not suited to your application.

It is nothing more than a STOCK Zenoah G260 with added bling parts.

Performance in the boat is very set up specific ... Engine being STOCK and if used with a tuned pipe is about a 15,000 rpm power plant with maybe 3.5HP tops.

Used in a mono, 40-45mph range
Used in a hydro 50-55mph pending on hull type.

The same engine Modified would add 15-20 mph to those figures

40-45mph for me would be fantastic seeing as though I won't be racing it and only be using it for fun. I'm just curious as to how people mod these types of engines? Thanks.
