Congrats, Steve! Looking forward to seeing it come together. I have a "little" project over at Brand X right now as well...

Brian Jackson from Offshore Outdrives in Bradenton Fl is delivering my new XR's Saturday to me after a few modifications.
He has been extremely helpful, knowledgeable & a pleasure to business with. 954-448-4478
I highly recommend him for any of your outdrive needs. I've done business with him for some 15 years

I bought a set of stock Merc 525 EFI's with 160 fresh water hours.

And a brand new set of CMI Gen X sport tube headers from CMI

Engine pictures are at the beginning of the thread

They are at Brand X now in Pompano Beach Fl.

Jason the owner will be rigging the boat for me.

He is one of the best & has done all the work on our Cigaretts for years.

I highly recommend him for your boating needs when it comes to high performance

I was speaking with Eddie Young of Young Performance Marine, he said those motors are near bullet proof and whose production line was very strong
