Finally got friends 98 353 in water today,great results!!!
My friend bought his 98 353 last Aug. with a bad engine,boat had hp500's with prochargers,Imco ext boxes and Imco extreme drives,pulled the engines in may this year and finally got it done last night at 2:00 AM,Pulled it out to the lake and put it in today,swett results!!! The engines have 0 hrs on them and we were not supposed to beat on it but could not resist,with 15 minutes on the engines,now 525's with 5 lbs of boost and aluminum heads,we hit a GPS of 96 MPH!!!!!
There is more to be had,the engines are not even tuned totally and there is a 7 lb pulley option for spring next year!!
This felt good after waiting all summer using his 311 that runs 75 on gps,96 is ALOT faster!! and the boat handled great,2-3 ft chops in Sandusky bay today.
The fresh decals on the side must not have dried all the way as it started to peel off!! See pic.

I was liking the 70 mph cruise in my friends 353 at 4000 rpm!
I have to talk about his boat since mine is slow,I ride on his when I want to go fast,I love mine but a Formula is in the future for me.
He did a sweet dash to fit all his gauges,very tight fit!
Any more pics of yours?

As much as I hate to say it, I will probably only be up one or two more times. Buying this house kind of put a hurting on my boating money. The days of care free living are officially over!
I willl be having a party after halloween though! By then everyone should be done boating.
Again, tell J&S that I'm glad it went well. I cant imagine having to see a new boat on land for 15 mos. before getting to use it.
Does life really begin at 100?

Mines an 02 382, Bravo XR's with heavily cupped 34 pitch 4 blade bravos. (boat blows out getting on plane) She still has a little left in her but I didn't want to push it. I'm going to lay into the trottles one more time because this winter the motors come out and the Prochargers are comng off. We're building 540's shooting for 650HP so I'll be down in the mid 80's next summer.
The dash of mine was custom made as well......Think I like "Lake Effect's" better.

That looks like the boat we sold to Mailon Kent in Bham,AL.If so,you are right,it does have more in it. Dano ran it 101 right after the prochargers were installed,and Mailon told me it later saw 105. Awesome boat.
