I have this alloy base Victa with a 4 stroke motor on it at the moment, I will probably put a Powertorque on it but it is a good base that probably cost Victa quite a bit to produce and I wonder why they made these because it takes the current style catcher and it has the 4th mounting hole for the Powertorque motor. I wonder if this base was produced before the pressed metal base, I can't imagine them producing them after they had gone to the pressed metal, because the cost must have been twice as much.
