i went with the stainless marine because i have the captains call diverter system. the cmi would not work with the corsa. I would have had to purchase the cmi diverter, that woiuld of added another $1800.00 per side.

I have not topped her out yet, got the boat to 76mph, max rpm on these motors are 6000. Im hoping the 28lab props will get me the rpm. bblads tweaked them but they do not think i will see that rpm with these props, might have to get 27's

How many rpm's were they turning at 76? What happened to your stock motors?

stock motors were sold, as far as rpm's i didnt get a good look. this weekend i"m going to try to top her out

Very Nice! Really clean installation.

Is this the engine?

http://sites.mercurymarine.com/porta..._schema=PORTAL

Do you have any problem finding 91 octane? How do they sound compared to the orginal 6.2's?

I bet they really wake-up that 292! Let us know what you can get out of her.

turboz67 06-11-2010 01:49 PM

4mulafstech yes that is the engine, i had the plenum covers painted blue and the valve covers powder coated, as far as the sound, when i have the exhaust open, at idle and when its running it sounds really good you can hear the cam. as far as the power its like having a new boat. the midrange is superb, i have not topped here out yet. Im going to see this weekend. i run 93 octane it all the time.

cuposterchild 06-11-2010 01:53 PM

Can't wait to hear results. This is firming up my decision for a 292 with scorpions

I got up to 76 on the gps and she still was not done, i"m hoping 80. powerboat tested the 2002 292 with scorpions and ran 76mph those motors were rated at 360-370.

Sounds great, good luck!

Did you have to trim or shorten the Quick&Quite Corsa Y-pipes to fit the Stainless Marine exhaust manifolds?

You do know that you can not get these engines in a new 292 and they are totaly different from stock 6.2s 377 ci ?

Yup. Limited to 2002-2004 boats or a high hours 5.0/350/6.2 boat looking for re-power. Also know there are very few out there that are clean/freshwater boats that were not beat on. I also like the original scoprion boats as they came with hydraulic steering where as most other 292 you had to have specifically ask the factory to put it on or put it on yourself.

Are there any performance numbers on the 383 Scorpion Formula yet?

I've recieved my 2004 292 Fastech /w 377 Scorpions a week ago. It ran 74,8mph on GPS the first run with full tank and 3 passengers. I absolutely love this boat. A whole other deal than the 271.

is it enough to go to the 292 once youve had the 271? or do you need to get a 312 or bigger to feel like youve really stepped up in ride and space?

Berglund 06-28-2010 02:04 PM

The step was the right one for me at least. It feels like a bigger difference than 2ft, and I will probably stay with the 292 for a while now.

But I guess it all depends on where you're boating.

I'm in the great lakes, and we just neeed a touch more room, love the idea of a 292 because of the smaller engines, but same mph as the 312
