I have a pair of 925's that make well over 1,000hp of Eddies that run like raped apes. The drivability is like a pair of 500's. I would say 525's.....but they run cleaner.:D

Better watch out people. If Eddie's head gets any bigger he'll tip over.

Thanks, I have nothing invested in this thread but as a do-it-yourselfer enjoy learning from great builders like yourself. I know this project will be top shelf and one of the more memorable builds. GREAT JOB!!!!!!

No doubt. I have some riggin that needs to be done before Eddie gets feeling too good about himself:ernaehrung004:

Last week I fired upthat 850 Eddie built for me. First lick of the ignition and it fired right up. It idled like a 500 EFI, only much louder!

Then there was the guy that was complaining about loud boats.:party-smiley-004: Yes son, all that silent choice does is to make the boats sound loud!

Yours just run to smooth for big carb engines. I think that I will actually miss that small blower lope!

Thanks Bob. I agree, not much in the way of problems. I took the boat out today and everything is great. It ran excellent and I was able to get a good bit of the fine tuning done. One more trip tomorrow should about do it.

That was soooo funny. Poor lady didn't know whether to $hit, run or go blind.
