Big Thanks, To Mark and Chris @ Precision Marine
Just wanted to give Mark and Chris at Precision Marine a big thanks for the great work that they did on my engine over the past couple of months....They went above and beyond on testing and tuning of my motor.
Will have Dyno sheets in a few, but engine made 1071hp, and 998 ftlbs of torque, here are a few pics and a video of the Dyno run... Enjoy!!!

Hey Jeff, I am going with a new SCX 1:24, with a Maximus prop, I had a a 1:35, and was running Bravos, working the numbers I should be in the 137-140 range, the motor is putting out about 50 more hp after the refresh...so we will see

The boat is super stable there is no real differance in the boat between 90mph and 130, it doesn't do anything funny, we meet up on the river I will give you a ride, you might get neorvous going around a curve at about a buck 20...

Thanks Pete, it was great meeting you, yea the motor came out great, and sounded so strong, I think I have reached the top with my little 540, I just got a kick out of it surprising Mark...I should have made a bet with him...

The engine only had about 150hrs, it didn't need to be refreshed, just wanted to be safer than sorry. I don't know if anyone knew or not, but this was the first TPI 848 that he built and it was a mule motor but once Mark and the guys at Precision Marine tore in to it, it really was in great shape, only a little blow by. I have been very happy with the engine, not one problem, and hopefully with this new SCX I won't have as many drive problems...
