Eddie, looks great, the merc 1075's produce 1140hp, seems like alot of work and money for 60-80hp, just wondering what the goal was on the new motors, what is the warranty on the motors?, have you used the 8.3 whipple, what do you think the bigger blower would of added?

Thanks guys. That's what it's all about....sharing our projects. I hope that something I've done gives someone else an idea to make their stuff better. I have certainly gotten some ideas from projects on here. I'm all about anything that makes our boats better, safer, or more enjoyable.

I am doing just that Eddie, attempting to put together a new motor and my target is the 1100-1200hp area. I will see if I can step up to your standards!! Thanks for the input.

Sorry Big Daddy, I can't give it all up at once. Just like a high school up girl, if she gives it up on the first date, then you don't need her anymore.

Do the Math, I am living the dream. Everything could not be better. Thank you.

Dick, I wish you the best with your project. I'll be glad to help you any way I can.

10X, Thank you.

Eddie
