I pulled the heads on my 05 model 575SCI and it looked like the head gaskets were within minutes of failing. They were burnt between the cylinders. I personally am a fan of the 575, but if you can't turn a wrench, I would look for a boat with different power. Mine makes over 700hp now and I have only broken 1 drive in a heavy 28' boat over 5 seasons. I wouldn't let the XR drive scare me.

that is actually the reason im on the market haha, i didnt want to mess with my old boat. was pretty sure i was going to take something that was set up perfect and ruin it. know my way around the older gm stuff so i think i should be good to tinker, dont know blowers at all. went turbo in the street use so that will be the biggest learning curve i believe

Send the ECU out for Recalibration. Eddie Young and others can do this. You could find another ECU and send that out so you dont have any down time. In fact I have one I would sell.
