First time I see an RB marine,
could be new from this year, sorry don't know the price.
One I am willing to bet on, is that they won't be that cheap.

I run RB engine in my buggy and I know the RB's are good, reliable and fast engines.
maybe their marine is the same (hopping).

as far as i can tell they are made by Nova Rossi, the case if you order more that 10,000 case's nova rossi will put a RB stamped or your logo stamped I may be wrong on the amount of 10,000 castings

I don't know about the logo but they are made by NovaRossi,
and Nessa is right, they are no slouch, I run one (in my buggy).

They're the same as Nova for the most part,, I think the factory is in France.

International Waters has a couple guys are selling some Novarossi "Top" I/B engines.
They getting a few Top 21 T7-M's that would squeal big time in a I/B. I'm converting a
RB Classico9 to O/B use,, I wish I would have waited for the 7M,, I know its got a
record in Australia. Probably in the $279 area for the marine version,, could save
you some $ over the RB possibly.

The description says it has a slide carb, which would limit some folks from purchasing it, but it looks like a rotary carb in the pic and in the illustrated parts break-down.

I tried posting late last night but the site wouldn't take it. Compare the Nova Rossi's on Glenn's site and you'll see that they're the same engines, just relabeled in the casting.
I'm curious about the price also but I'm betting that Glenn will be selling them cheaper plus more options as he is having some built to his spec's.

Glenn ordered a Top21 7M for me but since I got involved in the Classic09 I won't be getting it.
So there's one hanging out there to be had. He said they would be in the end of this coming week.
He hasn't had any 7M's till this time, I don't expect them to last very long and I think he only ordered
two.

Yup, looks just like my Novarossi .21, except for the head and markings. Just get a Novarossi from Glenn Quarles...

Yes It does Craig , looks just the Nova Rossi . I have gotten 2 NR from Glenn last year. I have 2 .12 5 .21 3 .40 & 2 .67 & Still looking for more. You can never have enough, it seams
although I want one more .21 rigger. I did call Glenn last Friday no return call yet. It was the 7 ports on that liner that got my attention .

Too pricey for me, give me a NR 5 Port and I'll be happy. Probably have to talk to Glenn next week

I love my hobby , that's way to pricey. but as we know somebody's " just gotta have it " I thought the Nova Rossi .21 flash was, way too much. I with you HJ call Glenn @ novarossi.us. The price on that NR5 port , seams very reasonable with years of good use.

Sorry, I didn't get a message that you had called...you can give me a call anytime on my cell 210 392-2271.

And yes RB is made by Nova. For the most part the pricing on all of these motors is set by what they think they can get for them. Please don't think that a motor's performance is realitive to it's price or the number of holes in the sleeve.

No problem...you are exactly right, the Flash is a LOT of money. That is why I don't keep them in stock (but of course if anyone wants one just let me know and I will be happy to order it. And as always my price will be as low as I can go.).

Hey Jerry, the price turned out to be $265 with the conversion rate this time. I'll have more around when you are ready for one.
