But...back to the original thread. I need more speed! I wonder if a hydromotive "stern lifting" prop would perform better than my 22 pitch bravo I four blade? |

Re: 242LS 65mph - how to get there?
OK, turns out I've toasted my motor...best bet seems to be a long block + new exhaust manifolds and depending on condition an intake manifold if that is crusty. So now might be the time to do the upgrades. Which makes more sense...a hi-po 454 or a 502?

Re: 242LS 65mph - how to get there?
Yeah...nice package...some assembly required.
I seriously considering an engine through this company: http://1800runsnew.com/recon.htm Remanufacturered engines by "Vesuvio" marine engines. They list this engine: 454 (7.4) 420 hp HO $4,850 Then a set of exhaust manifolds. There are so many options in terms of exhaust. I'm tempted to go with Stainless Marine. |

I'm tempted to go with Stainless Marine. If you want 65 , you're going to be dissappointed. My buddys 415/502 got him 62 under good conditions. So 420 hp is probably going to leave you a little short :( |

Maybe I should retitle the thread "242LS 62.5mph - how to get there?" |
