Everything was purchased from Mercury to change it over. ECM's, blower pulleys, and camshafts, the boat ran over 132 in the spring but didn't like the 6 blade props at that speed. We ran 17-38-5blades 16 rake yesterday, I think we are getting close. The boat is really a fun piece now, thanks’ to all for the positive comment. Also it would not have been possible without the help from EB Marine in Nashville and Brian at Fountain.

RBH, was this the same boat ??? Wyatt drove it when it was new at our poker run in 08. It had 850's in it then, and I believe it ran about 120 ish. The 2 Merrit brothers from Mi. owned it then, bought it from Scott Shogren.

Great lookin boat and some impressive speeds too. :evilb:
