i love these type of threads they always turn into insert "my favorite brand here" for an answer. Sport boat or whoever else is left should do a round up like the car mags do; drag a bunch of boats in the same size class out to a notoriously rough spot and run em then review em. I would honestly like to know how they all stack up

Sounds great! Use the same driver, same local, same speeds, plus. The same money? That sounds fun. Are we talkin used boats under a hundred k? Narrow it down a bit. Let's say for arguments sake you want to run 90ish and run well in 3-5. What do we have? In my mind I see 3 up to 5 boats (used), Take those and have at it! Same day . same conditions. imo

Oooo the ol' 525 valve stick. Common on #7,#8 cylinders. Apparently the northeast guys call a full upper rebuild replacing a pushrod and rocker and calling it a day. Cams alittle scored up now too. Time for the kid to bust out some $$$$ and make it right.... Hopefully be running 95+ next year!
Might put it officially on the market after that, sell it, then go low ball the piss out of some apache guys!
