Went to Cali, and had the 200ax upgraded to the 8.3L AKA 5.0L Whipple and spent about 10hrs on Lake Havesu tunning with the laptop, I have 119hrs on the package 50hrs with the 5.0L upgrade and she runs perfect, there is only one way to tune a motor properly and that is in the boat with the comp.

Mercury Racing spent a couple of days water testing in the Norway boat in Alabama getting everything just perfect, before its trip across the pond......:lolhit:

very cool boat..very clean..Im liking these smaller cats..Do they make a 28-30 and can you get twinn small blocks or does it have to be a single. Thanks Jeff

Thanks for the compliment on the rigging.

Dustin says that the stage 1 upgrade is about 735 HP. Stage 2 did not exist at the time otherwise we would have gone that route with them.

The remote does remote start for singles or twins and remote hatch operation along with being the kill switch lanyard. If the driver is thrown from the boat the system automatically kills the engine(s). There is not a key switch or kill switch on the dash. It is a gadget that the customer supplied. Kind of a pain to wire up, but kind of cool once you get past always reaching for the key to start or kill the engine.

The boat also has a remote controlled anchor so that they can drop anchor pull up to the dock, loosely tie off the front of the boat and remotely pull in the anchor line to pull the boat away from the dock. This is also a product from Norway that was supplied by the customer.

Hey Jeff...Steve only builds a 26', but compared to many other builders, when they say its a 28' its not even a 26' this is a true 26' boat. Steve has not done any twin smallblocks, it would be tight, but he is about to do one with twin 3.2L merc. outboards...should be bad A$$:daz:

The remote start and remote anchor are really cool.

The boat is really nice! Any plans of building a bigger one in the future?:evilb:
