Hey Y'all,
My first post on OSO. Can you guys give me some advise on a boat I am looking at in the link below. I am very familiar with supercharged set ups on vehicles but not in boats. What do I need to look out for when looking at a boat like this? Mostly in areas of the out drive and other items. What can I expect the top speed to be on a set up like this? http://www.powerboatlistings.com/view/17188 . I would suggest have a marine mechanice look at the engine, and make sure everything was done right on the engine. Make sure the guy knows about super chargers too. I had to fix things the previous owner did incorrectly. Big thing arp studs, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pressure gauge, better fuel pump "electric", anti syphane valved removed, adaquate fuel pressure ratio to boost, you must run at least 91 octane ( i have to in mine ), the right size fuel lines so you don't go lean. I would have a marina that builds race boat engines look at the engine in detail before you buy also you can call or email me for more info [email protected] 716-673-5176 cell |
Run

Some of you guys :lolhit: I dunno if I would say RUN. I would get more detailed info on the boat. If your local go look at it, do a compression test, check oil ect, check drive for slop( shouldn't have any if boat was always hydro steer) Doesn't look to be anything that can not be cleaned up. That is all ammo for price nego.

502 SC trouble shooting
I have a 99 OL 502 w/whipple side mount 2.3, still has the piggy back computer. I blew a head gasket last summer, pulled engine and rebuilt her this winter. As of now the injectors aren't pulsing, wont start. Engine check light is on, whipple check light is showing code 15 (I think). I have went over grounds and all connections, everything is good to go. I am thinking of buying a Mercrusier scanner to read/delete the codes, and run an injector test.
Will the scanner allow me to read/delete the code on the piggy back computer? Is this the next step, or am I just missing a simple ground or a bad connection? Any help would be appreciated and if anyone has a pdf of the instruction booklet, that would be awesome! I am trying to avoid taking it to a shop, it has to be something simple, right??? Thanks, |

1000 hp should turn a 32 pitch 6000 rpms at 100 mph IF it actually had that kinda power, mine does. A 454 or 496 would need about 20 psi of boost and the best heads out there to make that kinda hp and you would be into strictly race gas territory, RUN, Smitty
