Well, I've gone through it all. Baja 24 Outlaw. 502 mag. 5 flat cam lobes. Budget attempt to clone a 500hp on my own. Now have (still on a budget) made a good reliable 500+hp engine. added k planes, hydro steering, gauges and goodies here and there. Nice to spank some of the people that used to beat me. here are some of my engine troubles, Kplane and hydro installation and one of my engagement pictures. My now wife loves that boat more than me. That's why we work so well!

Thanks again. Great job on your jet BTW. That thing looks like a ball!

The jet is a blast! Installed a jetovator 2 years ago and it is so much fun but I had to buy 3 cell phones when I put 100 gallons of water on the deck of my buddies pontoon boat
