500efi with Procharger Application for 26ft AO

[Colorado26AO]

I wanted to see if anyone has dropped a 500 EFI motor with a M3 procharger application before in a 26 ft AO. The boat is a 2001 2600 O/S. If you have, does everything fit ok in the engine compartment or do you need to cut the hatch? It has the 504 intercooler on it as well so I hope there is enough room in front of the motor. Just wanted to see if anyone has had any issues trying to get everything to fit ok.

I'm sure DrewDown will reply, but he addded a vortech (i think) supercharger to his 2600.. I believe he had no trouble getting it all to fit under the hatch.

Chrome cat is correct. Everything that came with the vortech fit underneath the hatch and there was enough room in front of the motor for the extra pully. I would call Bob Endress from Vortech. Super nice guy and will take the time to answer all of your questions. I belive vortech and procharger are manufactured in the same building so he probably could answer you questions on the procharger. If your not stuck on the procharger I would highly recommend the vortech. I still keep in touch with the current owner, he just did a compression check and it came back good in all 8 with 270 hours on the motor.

How fast was your 2600, and how much boost were you running?

I could squeeze 102 out of it. 5lbs of boost.
