#4 which you should of done IMO is lifters 400-600 per engine

BTW push rods are in the heads. there the long round skinny things that make the valves go up and down......
🤣😂🤣😂 I missed this reply thx for making me laugh, I needed that after the headaches I’ve been dealing with all summer lol

Everything was in fact changed, I left out the lifters by accident 🙄

Thank you again!

BTW I have my old Transom Assemblies, changed them only because I wanted new, there in perfectly good condition. Is there a market for these?

Have an awesome evening 😎

It’s a girl here in Quebec that used to work for one of the most reputable performance shops “Marine Extreme” I guess they had a falling out and she went on her own. She doesn’t have an actual company set up, works from her house. She removed everything and reinstalled everything once it was complete. She even shellacked the wood base to insure no moisture would get in. She changed everything, cup holders, step pads name it. Just an outstanding job

hey JD, it’s all she knows lol she’s going nowhere. She’ll be doing the benches in my cuddy over the winter along with the interior of my brothers 26 Baja. His boat is also in mint condition but he wants to update the interior 😎

Have a terrific day 😁

Your running stronger now because of the work. Be happy. Pitch up 1" on the prop will bring down you back to 5200rpm and pick up 2 to 3 mph.

OK so I took the boat out for a quick run and it is indeed exceeding the 5200rpm max I was only able to hit prior to the the overall/renos I did to the boat. The max speed I was able to hit at 5400rpm was 80mph. Prior to this, I've hit 86mph granted that was with a lot less fuel in the tank cuz this run had full tanks so the extra 1200 lbs would obviously play a roll here. I could have pushed the rpms past 5400 rpm cuz I still had throttle left but didn't wanna push them too hard out of the gate.

I'm thinking new props is going to be the answer
