I got a lot of wiring to do !!

Update ! Boat runs need to install outdrive and find shift parts for the bracket , install bunch of other things interior , oil reservoir for out drive clean up the wiring. Hopefully in a week will have it on the water ! Then propping only have a 23p 4 blade revolution to start with , will see what that does !

Can't wait,to,hear the results.

Oh it sounds nasty !! Lol

I had to remove all the accessories to get my engine out of my 242LS too. It looks more roomy than it is going in and out. My 242SS had no problem pulling out with everything in place. What is with that??? Stroked the engine for the LS but have not finished the heads yet to dyno. Excited here to see how yours performs. Boosting is a great way to get power on the water. I went with more stroke but don't know what the power is yet.

Definitely keep us posted with the project.

Took it out quick today for the first time , right off the bat was a blast ! With crappy prop was cruiseing at 40 about half throttle ! The power felt great and the throttle response . After about 30 mins cruiseing looked in the bilge and noticed a little slick power steering fluid leaking somewhere haven't located the leak yet , next weekend !
Aqua force I have an ls and ss working on the ss sucks as far as the motor goes had to put a starter couple years ago an nearly blew a nut trying to put the manifold back on ugh thought about selling that day , but there is so much room in the cockpit which is good !

The power sounds like a great thing. I am stroking a 496 for my LS and I will be around the same power level, I can't wait.

Yes I really like all the room in the SS too but I am partial to my LS. The engine is so boxed in that working on the SS is better done pulling the engine than getting a hernia. Hard to have my cake and eat it too between the LS and SS so I got the 357 to solve that problem. LOL

Well I tried a 25p 3 blade mirage today and I don't think the boat liked it seemed like It would barely get over 42 mph 3/4 tank of gas but really ? Guess I'm gonna try a 24p bravo1 and 23p mirage ! Thing makes a $hit load if noise just not seeing the numbers

I would try a out of the box 23 mirage plus and have it tweaked after testing if need be. That prop worked best for my old 242 with a 500 hp 509. You should be able to crack 70 with your set up
