No problem, the faster we made the boat the more the engine hatch was up lol. Wives don't like too fast or too slow as in idling back in on one motor. I've got the motors out right now and JC is building them, I'll let you know what kinda HP we get. This set ran 3 yrs. summers in NY winters in Fla. intracoastel and 30 mph speed limits are also another heart ache for blower motors, lugged them to death.

Think long and hard before you undertake any kind of blowers.I've run prochargers for about twelve years and you will definately see your boat get a lot faster,with improved cruise and fuel mileage. You will also see your drives break more frequently, due to the added torque. In salt water you have to watch the procharger intercoolers like a hawk ( they will rot and blow water into your motor if you don't catch it.) I've built my own copernikel coolers and knock on wood 4 years old and still dry. I would not install any blower with out Dyno tuning the set up, if you lean out in the boat kiss your motor good bye. The fuel ratio has to be right on or you will foul plugs constantly(to rich) or lean out ( blow torch your pistons). The fellow who said get newer hull gave the best advise in the long run providing it meets your budget. I have an early 35 executioner with 700 hps does 90 and a Fountain supervee with 525's when propped for top end will do 112. 700's are procharged 525's are stock. big difference in the new hulls and the reliability in the 525's is incredible. We got 950 out of 540's w/ prochargers but they were very volitile, ae. bad fuel would kill them amongst a list of other things. Long story longer, there is a lot to be said for a boat that runs 80 and starts all the time and doesn't break to often.
Good Luck,
