sunshadow,
been following your build, looks really good, i will post pics and progress once i get mine under way.
uncle dave,
the owner of concord is the one who pointed me in the direction im going, he has done it to a few of their boats and says its at least a 10 mph gain, im running mid 50's (yes thats gps) with old stock stuff now, cant see where it could hurt to do what im doing but i will keep you guys posted and if it flops i will gladly accept a few "we told you so's!!" anyway thanks for your input and i will keep in touch, im kinda new to the performance side of boating so im only dipping my toes for now, who knows what the future could bring!!

With only a grand in it you cant get too hurt.
Typically it takes 20 ponies for a solid 1mph increase so thats 200HP for 10 mph.
Not trying to rain in anyones parade, but more to help with expectations. Good luck and keep us informed on how it goes.
