Congrats! I remember when that boat was painted (there's pics floating around OSO somewhere). You're gonna love that cabin! I've always said, best cabin in a performance boat in its class.

I would love to see what it used to be, I know it came from New York, there's people that say it went under at a dock years ago, no proof yet nor do I really care, boat is great and will be better as I fix things up it needs!

Good Luck! Harvey's old boat. It originally came from my Neck of the woods in Upstate NY. I sold Harvey a Transmission and a Replacement TRS drive before he did the TRS conversion to Konrads. He did the conversion shortly after I did mine on the Old Mistress. If those were Harvey's original 555CI motors, they were nice pieces and ran great with Top Dollar Parts. Just for my Info, why are you removing that power?
I thought about keeping his and adding boost, Frickstyle and I decided that's a bad idea the konrads won't take what I would do then.. there are great parts in these engines but mine do also.

Yeah, by drivers boat I mean that it takes a lot of input to make it happy, and I have to throttle with my setup to keep it from kiting if you want to run with the tabs loosened up. I remember riding on your Mistress, quite different. This hull runs best over 70mph, water permitting, anything under that takes a lot of adjustment and porpoise. How did those engines run? 72 you said? Wonder what the diff will be with your engines, how much HP diff? Those are bigger cubes, right? Cam change on current (j/k) How much did the Mistress weigh? What pitch props on the Konrads and what rpm did it pull to top end? Just curious as I was working on that drive setup before I changed everything.

I was going to run 850-900hp thru them w/572s & a 420 MegeBlower. You could add centrifugal and go up to 850-875? Konrads might run a little faster than SSM? Less frictional losses/weight?
