OK - you're starting to pizz me off.
Please tell me you're gonna keep the boat.
You've put too mubh work in it to sell it.
If you sell it now, I'll start calling you Fred Cecil - and that's a pretty dirty title around here.
but it sure is "trick".

The boat is looking great.
Enjoy it.

Throw that junk away. Put the Merc chit back on. You won't see any HP gains, and it will be harder to find parts if you need them away from home.

If you don't take my advice, then you better buy a backup blue box and keep it in the cabin for that day you aren't expecting.

Boat looks awesome. I wish I had the cashflow to do one like that.

Glad to hear you didn't need new engines. Was the rust just from condensation, leaky breather. If you are getting a little water on top of the head when it is running and you don't think it is condensation, you might check the head bolts. They will leak sometimes.

Look forward to hearing how that thing runs.

They work fine, except the blue boxes burn out pretty regulary. You are hit or miss.

IMO after putting them on and talking to guys who have put a lot of them on, they are just not worth the extra cash. They look cool though. You could find better places to spend that 2K.

Looks real nice! Take out an OSO classified ad and include your price. It's one of the better ways to avoid tire kickers and is a step in the right direction if you're truly going to sell the rig.
