Cord,
The boat this is replacing had a real blower motor that gave years of trouble free service. This motor is for my parents, my dad likes to go fast, but my mom HATES the blower whine.
Noted on the coolers, it will have them.
No problem on regulating the water psi. I would rather a cool motor than a hot one, specially with the fuel that we have been getting.
I was told that Eagle would be ok, as long as it is balanced and sized..... the price is right.

Regarding the Eagle, I've heard of people doubling their cost in just remachining the part. Makes you wonder if it's even worth it.

Na, I am going to be at the Montreal F1.
That is what my Dad wants to do, just toss an HP 500 in it. I was looking to build a little more power on a fresh rebuild for less than one of Ray's motors.
I was gonna get Active to assemble it for me.
