Sounds awesome.
Good Luck and let us know how the build goes.

It's an awesome little donzi!!

I don't think I'll need to supercharge it, it's crazy fast as it is for a 22'. 80mph! I'll porbably just go with some forged internals and a basic raylar kit. Only thing I'd like is faster acceleration.

After a lot of boat driving, I'll admit that I was wrong. I had maximum throttle going and the boat handled any bumps perfectly fine. "That bump" I was talking about for high speeds is no longer something I'm worried about, so now that it's not an issue, here are some upgrades for boat performance I was looking into.

For the boat's performance as a whole, I am going to get the following items:
-Mercury K-Planes
-If I have room to mount it, my friend offered me his old Mercury VesselView
-Raylar 103 BigPower Engine Kit
Engine kit consists of:
• BigPower aluminum cylinder heads (pair)
• BP 103 High Performance camshaft designed to work with 496-8.1 engines fitted with stock pistons. Marine and HiPo
• R-INTK "CoolGap" intake manifold
• R170SS1-1.7 ratio SS roller rockers with nuts
• R-ARP1 re-torqueable high strength head bolts
• RCM-SS1 Cometic special MLS head gasket set
That should give me 525+HP.

Or, if not the 103, then the 106.
The 106 is:
• BigPower aluminum cylinder heads (pair)
• BP 106 High lift / big duration camshaft ***(must only be used with forged aftermarket pistons with deep valve relief)
• R-INTK "CoolGap" intake manifold
• R170SS1-1.7 ratio SS roller rockers with nuts
• R-ARP1 re-torqueable high strength head bolts
• RCM-SS1 Cometic special MLS head gasket set
• New Billet Throttle Body
• Reprogram on your ECM
That would give me 550+HP.

Decisions, decisions...
