I dont want to be Mr negative, but is it worth it to fix her?
I see things like this boat http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/2/4/88617224.htm
and I would think you are going to have more then this invested to bring her back.
Now if its a matter of principle I COMPLETLY understand wanting to bring her back,,,,, but dollar wise,,,,, I am just wondering if it wouldnt be money ahead to part it out and start over.
Sorry you had to go through all this !!!!

I guess any normal person would probably write it off, but not I my friend, for I am far from normal.
No but really, I have gone through enormous hardships in the last 19 months and I have rebuilt just about everything else taken from me in that horrible year of 2005. So now I figure why stop now. Actually, had that phukhead not stolen my Outlaw it also would have been done by now..... I can only push ahead now my man. Thanks for your concern. It is a pleasure to have honest people like all my OSO bros to keep me going. On we go.....

Thanks guys....I will keep all of you posted. I am now looking at a 540 ci powerplant. I just don't think my 1994 Bravo drive will be able to handle the projected 620HP. Any input will be appreciated.

In a light 24 footer you might survive if you take it easy out of the hole and watch your wave hoping.

Well guys I put down a deposit on a 540 ci engine today. According to my new buddy Steve I should be looking at 625 horses with this new bad boy!!! I am on the fence about a new drive. I know a bravo can handle the power but I honestly don't think my 1994 bravo drive, that has been sitting untouched for the last 2 years, can handle it. Any suggestions from you high HP guys? Thanks fellas.
