Default Winter Project on the 38 Fever

We are nearing the end of some winter upgrades on the 38 Fever. Gone are the 625's and in their place is a set of low hour 710's.

The upgrades are being orchestrated by Marine & Speed near Lake Cumberland, KY. The owner of Marine & Speed, DJ, is a true perfectionist and that really shows in all of his work.

Pics to follow.

Yes I agree, the transom sets it off nicely.

The exhaust on the older style 625s had to clear the radiator in the back so the headers had no down slope That ment my pipes had funky downturns in them in order to exit below the swim platform. With these 710s it will be a clean shot straight out the back.


From what I have heard those upgrading from 625s to 710's have seen anywhere from 5 - 9+mph. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I saw the work in progress myself last weekend....I agree, DJ takes great pride in what he does and will make sure you get a top notch rigging job.
