I guess its time to let you guys know...... I CAN BUILD MY OWN ENGINE!!!

Please no more sales!

Does everyone agree that 500 hp should get me to 70?

I'm not sure of the year of your boat but it does make a difference. Older ones are heavier and had less control over balance.

Also before you do check the bottom with a level to make sure the hull is straight.

My guess is that 500 hp should get you close but every hull is different.

Sorry about my earlier post.

Hey, wtpowered did you buy your boat in allentown pa, if so I was wondering how its been for you . I use to own it and I'm sorry I traded it in I sure do miss the way that boat rode in the rough water.
