I wish you the best of luck and the best of results.

If you don't expect much then every little bit you gain seems like a lot. I have told everyone that with all the work we have done that I expect to loose 3 MPH!!!!

We are leaving after work tomorrow to head down and pick our boat up finally. I'm taking two sets of props to try Wednesday in that beautiful 70+ degree Florida sunshine.

I'll let you know how see does.

Im very curious to see how yours runs as well. Did you end up changing cams?

We have 80-85 degree temps this week That will make for some nice testing.

Yes, the only thing we changed on the engines this time was the cams. Used the Crane 741 which is the same as used in the new 525's.

are you running gils or an aftermarket exhaust?

I went back and forth on the 731 vs 741 and the outcome i was told was the 741 made more power BUT

1. there was a better chance for reversion

2. it was in an unusable rpm range.

BUT the 731 cam isnt much more cam than the stock hp500 carb cam.
