Haven't leaned on it yet, getting some seat time and checking it all out. It needs drive/tab indicator cables before its ran hard. Should have them replaced next week. It's quick runs 40 at 2,400.

Changed out the wheel and did some cleaning on the blowers. I'm making 5# with this set up. Going to check pulley numbers and get the next size. Lot's of chrome in the engine compartment once I started cleaning. After market heads, studs, MSD boxes, etc. Pretty nice set up.

Nice boat, I have a guy in Acapulco, with a triples in a 47, we have been talking about converting the 525s to 540s with about 750 hp.
One comment; I would be concerned with the breather hose sizing coming off the valve cover, if thats what Iam seeing.

The hoses run to puke tanks, you think they are too small? I think it's 1/2 hose.

Put IMCO splash plates on the drives gets on plane great now. I'm wondering if it would make the boat carry the bow some or I just didn't notice it before?

Getting use to the boat before I run the props off it. Haven't ran it wide open yet.

Tore into "Blown Three Times" last week, she's going to "Staggered Blown Twice" now. Never done a conversion, but it's due for this one. The engine compartment was a mess and the tail pipes needed redone. I hope it looks like new when I'm done and runs well.

I vote for stag V6's I've heard these boats like to use some fuel.

I'll be down to make sure the progress is moving and supervise from the beer cooler
