that suks BIG time ,you mentioned you had to pay the bill b4 testing/sea trial your new power did it perform what you expected and where told ??? just curious
Best speed recorded was 63.8 @ 5100rpm but this is with ideal conditions low fuel, two adults, slight chop water, cooler temps etc... I was expecting at least an easy 65mph in summer time conditions. But this is all in the past and accept it. I am more informed now. Should have known by the cam used CC XM HR 270 that a 350 could not make 400+ hp but that was my mistake and there dishonesty. Thanks for the comments. |

No not really. Was told by the builder that I needed more bow lift (props fault). That statement was just an excuse for the lack of promised HP as I have been told by many other boaters who have seen the boat run that the boat runs almost completely out of the water at WOT on the tail of its pad V hull.

As long as this builder was not in TX, I am ok. Had my HP500 rebuild done this past May.

Did the owner do the work? R&R the drives and engines. Maybe one of his knuckle headed help broke the drive and he is oblivious to the damage.

Several years ago I had my motor rebuilt by....blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.....
Your Thoughts :popcorn: kept quiet about my dissatisfaction with the work, continued to use this mechanic for years, then get on the world wide web and inform hundreds of strangers that I acted like a buffoon. But that's just me. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: :lolhit: |

If you have tons of $$ to spend you will probably be alright but once they find out you are on a budget build, the profits are no longer under control and the cost to replace a lower gear case is to much of a cost for them. Just keep that in mind???? |
