Thanks Randy, I will keep my ears open for anyone looking to get a side mount whipple, although it seems like most people are buying newer boats with newer engines. I love the looks of that top mount whipple you have, and that is what a few guys around here are using on the newer setups.

Thanks 28Eliminator, I am supposed to pick up a complete FI system soon so I should have everything to bolt this system together stock and with the blower ecu & all for a reasonable price. I believe it will be easier to sell that way than just a blower & manifold. I like the windshield on your boat, wonder if the dimensions are the same. My little shield thingies start folding back at about 70mph & its like shoving an air chuck up my nose & hitting the lever LOL.

LOL air chuck! I helped a friend fix his 25' 01 eagle last year, and it is very breezy. It makes a huge difference in wind pressure and I'm glad I have the shield. I could measure his and compare with mine if you are interested in getting one. I have heard they are expensive as heck though, something like $1200-1500

I would appreciate that as I can look around. I think yours is the first eagle under 30ft that I have seen with a windshield & I like the look. As for the air chuck we could get creative to entertain ourselves or get out of working on a jet ski!!LOL

I will see if he is around this weekend and try to take some measuments. In fact he still has my rinda scanner I need to get back. When ever I ride in anyone elses Eagle I am amazed at how well that wind shield works. It is still breezy, but pushes the majority of the wind over your head. If you want the wind just sit up a little higher or sit on a throwable cusion.

Thank you Dustin for the info the side mount will be for sale shortly as I just found out today the sale of my top mount setup fell through so I will be getting it back. I need to aquire some fuel system parts for the injection system so I can sell it as a complete bolt on computer to fuel pump & everthing inbetween. Randy
