Oh no doubt man...the white motors were a must have.
I remember your 24 sonic. Thing was a masterpiece man. I remember reading about you guys sleeping in it in the keys for a week or something. Was so jealous lol
Im hoping for a 6 to 8mph gain from the tune....50hp more per side should easily net an 8 to 10% increase in mph in a cat with a 20% increase in total power

I know that it is strong enough, but to me man that looks like a lot hanging of a little tiny mount! I mean the motor plate itself is only 2/3 on the bracket, I just thing of when you see a massive number 6 drive broke. Either way have you had a chance to run it yet?
Lol man I know what you mean.. the verado is huge. But its really not that much heavier than some of the other big boys.
This will be my third season running it. Ive had the boat 5 feet out the water at 60mph ...ive run it at 80 on Cumberland poker run weekend. Blasted through water so rough it busted over the bow lol. These hulls have crazy amount of glass in em. It had twin 1000 hp blown 540s in it for 10 years before i bought it from my buddy...ran 135 mph. Theres not even stress cracks anywhere in the gel. When we did The transom on this boat we built it to hell. The knees on the inside are massive and there's 3/8 aluminumplate on the inside sandwiches the transom. The jack plates are z lock with four 5/8 bolts holding them on. ...the only way for it to fail is rip those out or break em...or for it to push through itself and shear 6 six1/2 inch bolts. It could happen. But it'd have to be some wild water and ridiculous driving...and I hope im not onboard for any of that lol
