My 02 Vr1 Project

Centering the steering, useing a gas pedal,putting the trim switches on the floor.

Two hands on the wheel are a must and there is less tossing around in the center of the boat. Dynoing the engine this week. praying for 600

With a 425 hp motor we saw 82+ at the kilos in North Carolina.
