Yes, the motors were rebuilt , we got ride of the oil injection , changed the port timing ,opened up the exhaust , slight mill on the heads , rejet the carbs, machined the front air horn . This way we boost the hp to a reliable level . We will spin them up to 6800-7000

Kurt, My searay is in the water, but have not been out yet. Its still pretty cold down here . I do not think I can test the Activator today as its cold, and its blowing like 25mph . I have not touched the OL yet.
