Madcow, was yours a custom rigging or something, I was told from a Seadoo dealer that it was physically impossible to put 110's in a 97 hull
you can buy a pair of rebuilt 110's for $1600 a pair....the 85's are only a hundred bucks less per side. Thats 50 extra hp. for 200 bucks
what kind of speed are you seeing with the 110's?

I have a Yamaha jetboat. I use it for everything, so nice to pull that you can't even tell it's behind the truck. You may want to give the Yamaha's a look. I went with the XR1800 (discontinued model) because it has a **** load of power (twin 155 hp) and a covered bow. I've had it in some VERY nasty water and I can say with a fair amount of confidence, if it weren't for the covered bow I'd likely be a dead. Then again, your average Joe is smart enough not to take these boats in those conditions.
These things are tons of fun, but the lack of dead-rise makes then tough on the spine so be prepared.

The New Yamaha 2300, has a 21 deg. deadrise compared to the 18 deg. or less found in most other models.

I've been on one. It is way bigger in every way. Too big in my opinion... almost like a real boat. Between the size, weight, and deadrise it's much smoother; but not like a 24' Superboat/Pantera.
