And the big question is, how much money did it take to gain that 13mph?

Very nice job it looks great and those are impressive performance gains.

How does the boat handle at the higher speed?

All I can say is the juice was worth the squeeze in my case. I gained 25 MPH & we don't do this because it is cheap, we do it because we love the sport!
13 MPH is pretty good!

Jason, I meant no disrespect, you should know me well enough to know I like speed. I was just curious as to the cost versus say a blue motor option. My question was answered it seems.

I priced the BK 103 kit last fall and it was about $6,300.....labor is extra if you can't handle the install yourself. Not sure about the exhaust, probably another $2,500??? The you need a new prop..



the smile wiped off your face by all the extra speed.....PRICELESS!!!
