I believe the current top speed for WindShip is in the 165mph range (My recollection from a past thread). 1650's would propel it to ??(208)!!! Wow, that would be hot!

Why you'd only want a motor that only runs on 112 , granted the significant power is major, but I just don't see the benefit when the 1350 boat are being pushed to absurd speeds as it stands. Just My humble opinion. |
I'll bet John is getting a chuckle out of this thread! If he did upgrade to 1650, a sniff of his exhaust will tell.

If John is reading this, thanks for putting on a great event to benefit kids in need. I'll be there again next year. |

That would be incorrect. The 1100 / 1350 upgrade wouldn't work due to the dual TBs on the 1350s vs the 1100, there's actual difference in the intake system. The 1350/1650, you could theoretically do, without revealing much, the major difference are in the turbos, visually you cannot see this. I will say that much...
. Could someone perhaps figure out how to program the ECU's? Probably, but it would not be legal nor would it be a good idea. |

Is that why you recently put your Skater up for sale. That thing is an awesome looking boat and package with the 1100s. Sounds like you are looking for more HP by changing to the 1350s. How do you like th boat.
The only reason I am selling is to get a bigger boat and of course, yes, more power. Wait til you see the next one! |
I have not dealt with Merc on the new motors but I did on the 1075 and 1200's. And there response when I was getting 1075's completely rebuilt and asking about have them made into 1200's was "no". They said their company policy is to only rebuild a motor to what it came from the factory as, no matter how easy it might be to upgrade it. I would assume this policy would carry over to the new Turbo motors as well.

The boat with 1100's is awesome! It will run 150+ all day long, idle like 525's, and has been trouble free. It is a beautiful boat for sure, very classy looking.
