for sure, I hear ya on reliability, but 600 hp is easily 75.... mine runs 72-73 all the time even flat water with 598 hp... my engines are extremely mild 547 CI for reliability ...cafes/Mistress ride best after 65-68 and up... hull comes alive!!!

Looks good and congrats! Jamie was finishing up a couple little odds and ends on mine over the weekend and I'll have the thunder back. Does awesome work and is great to deal with!
