Pat Ron is building you two as well right now? That's assume. Isn't he great. I can't wait to get mine back in. It's like said Ron probably wasn't getting any were near 415 hp out mine since I bought it. This just because of the normal wear. He thinks I would be surprised at how much faster and how much more power I would get a posed to what I'm used to. So I really can't to get mine back in to see what we have. How long has he been working on your now Pat? Have you been to his shop? Or did you just ship him your motors? I see your from Maryland. I'm from the eastern shore of Maryland my self. I used to run around Solemons and hang around Verras. You ever been there before?
It's been a great pleasure so far dealing with Ron .... I sent them down in December and told him when I needed them back by!!!

No Crane. My boat was bought brand new from a dealer in Md. I'm the third owner all in Md until now. I live in Bradenton Fl now. Moved here just so I could get more time on my boat in a year. A lot more things to do here as we'll.

Spicy let me know how they turn out. Especially let me know how they look on the dyno. Sounds like he building yours right front of mine. I'm in no hurry at all. Ron's going to reinstall mine back into my boat for me as we'll. I'm right here close to him. We have a good two months before we will get serious about boating again right now so no rush on mine what so every. But please let me know what you think about yours please.

First Engine Dyno @ 564.9 HP with 590.6 Torque
Second Engine Dyno @ 564.6 HP with 590.0 Torque
Warranty with Mercury is a year, Potter has given me a year Warranty as well.
I was sold with Ron on the head work changes he did over Mercury, just a few small upgrades for performance / reliability. As far as savings I don't know how to answer, first what Ron and I worked out will never hit the net as I don't see it my place to post his pricing, and that as I only have hearsay on what Mercury charges, I had several other things that I had to change out ... Couplers, Had some powder coating done, and I had a bad heat exchanger so really couldnt go apples to apples, I'm happy so far, they just need to get here!!! according to the tracking number they are in NC trucking there way up 95
I will post pictures when they get here... But I'm sure that they are Blue & Black just like when i sent them down, just shinier and the internals are healthy!!!
