Yes he is, and he know just a little about fast boats [ Sunsations & Apache's] . This Sea Ray is pretty cool, & a real sleeper.

i went with the braided hose kit too, i pick up 11 mph, but i also speed waxed the hull that weekend so not sure how much mile per hour i pick up off the hoses vs the speed wax...rm

The turbos were actually a kit. There was a formula on craigslist that had the same turbo setup on twin chevys. I guess the turbos just sit in place of risers on the log manifolds. Pretty slick.

Hate to tell you but that's not even a Merc MR drive. More like an R drive. The MR was really an Alpha but the R was the old drive that shot the pinion through the gearcase in a hard acceleration.
