Taken me longer than I thought but its because I have had so much work so thats
good since it means mo money. Taking all next week off to finish it off, just have to plug wiring
back in and hook up the hoses and then do some initial tuning..
Set the linkage up for only 80% max throttle as Im trying to keep it around 600hp
until I can upgrade the drive which is next winters project. Will have to modify rear seat as
well since the snout hits it.

dunno,stock they run 5-6lbs, anymore and you really need to run an intercooler on a boat, hp wise about 800 is max. I am limiting mine to around 600-650 for now since I have not upgraded my stock Bravo drive. I am really looking for more midrange punch than all out speed.
 
getting closer,only thing left to do is slap on the headers, unfortunately ( or fortunately) I have to leave for a gig tommorow so I cant finish it until next week but I can not wait!!
As the outside temp shows its time to hit the water!
