The K-Planes would have to be changed to the larger Planes and I would go with a Stand off box. I could see the 27ZR hitting the Triple Digits mark.

I know & you are correct as well.. I just personally like the ride & space a bit more over the 27zr.. But thats just my likes. Thats why I bought a new 26zx instead. It was a close call between the 2 for me though as both are great runners in that size.

Jamie I agree on the ZX, I had a choice between the ZR and the 33ZX NO Contest. My wife fell in love with the cabin and she may not be the fastest boat, but you can stay overnight, watch TV, Get around the cabin and enjoy coves.

Nah ....Bill has his ride dialed in right! It is I who is considering a motor swap from my 28 Zx into a 2 ZR...just looking for the right deal to come along and then I will be dropping a 830 Hp procharged motor in to the ZR and see what happens.....if you know of one that is a good buy let me know

For the right deal I am always a player. I have my hands in plenty right now and am very happy with my ZX. I thought Bryan did very well with his 27ZX twin step that runs in the 90's. I am sure his next project will be over the top.
