Blowers on 502's are easier on bravos than 540's...and the headers you have now are fine for those.

A lot more than it would take to sell it and buy a 100mph boat.

Lots of people. Success is relative.

Back in 96 I had a neighbor with a 42 with 900's on bravos. The boat ran 100+ every weekend until a drive blew. He thought that was pretty successful. He had a 100 mph 42'.

Go here ( www.motorsbyshooter.com ) to see my best buds motor in his boat...the dyno sheet is also there. Look at the power at 5300 rpm. He has been running this motor for 2+ years thru a Bravo 1 with no issues at all. He also doesnt hammer it coming out of the hole. Be gentle getting started and you shouldnt have any problems.
