no problem
there is very little rpm differences between the 2 gearcases,50-100 window winding up
when get to limiters usually same
mainly counter breaks down oil faster
the 300rpm is close to a pitch difference,,,,,
so yea change props and if same rpm variable and have em checked,,,,,,

ur boat is awesome,,,,and spending some time to figure it out is a + for every1
im redoing a 97 28 right now and putting the lil 2.5s on it off my 27 ex
so may have to put all 3 on to keep up with these new hulls with 400s,,,,,,,lol

Hmm, maybe a gently used 368 better way to go

I was told the buyer of the $400k+ 318 replaced his 40 Skater and 32 Skater with that 318. I'm not much different - I sold my 28 Skater and am re-rigging my 30 w/ 400Rs (from Sterlings/ASDSs) to happily go back to just one 30' boat with outboards. Pete said most of the customers for these 318/400R boats are all coming from bigger inboard boats. And I always said the exact same thing you said, until you realize all the negatives that go along with that used, big-power 368 for the same price as a new, warrantied 318/400R.
