357 resto
540's. 600 hp. They are the engines that came with the boat when I purchased it.They supposably only had 41hrs on them,but I decided to open them up and freshen them up while I had them out.

what are your plans for power in the 357 if you are getting rid of the 540s? What did they get you for top speed in the boat?

357 resto
The fastest I got on GPS is 73.8.The previous owner told me when he had nose cones on the drives ,it picked it up 2 more mph. But I honestly think they'll be good for a few more miles per hour since we freshen them up we change a few things to squeeze out a little more HP.Before going into them they were 565-575 HP.New engines going in are tall deck 604's,985 HP.
