Nocig,one more thing.With them fuel tanks in the back,dont get wild with the trim or you get a surprise you dont want. Mel

Mel i feel like your a second father to me........

I have been careful thus far......

I am spinning a 3 blade cleaver

Heres the numbers i have no idea what they mean

moa 15 1/2 x 25

whs 684

vo22

WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN

Nocig,Sorry about that,but i would feel awful if anything went wrong after i went and said go with the biggest engine you can.Enough said about that,just dont forget some of the pointers i gave you.Now that prop is a 15an half diameter by 25 pitch,that was about right back when they used those drives but i would try a 15.25x26 bravo 1 4blade if i could borrow one from someone,in my book the 3 blade is outdated for your boat an power.I tried one on Vixen and didnt work anything like a 4 blade. Mel

thanks again mel im going to look for a prop this weekend....Iwill let ya guys know

Thought this was a good tread name to use. These are a dummy set of Lighting Headers to try for fit in my Sport. They are about 1/2" too wide at the elbows and do not clear the outside rim of the hatch opening. The engine hatch is about 3/4" thick there too and angles in a little, so they just do not fit. Any other manuf. that you guy's have had luck with that fit? I have Sm. Blk.s 450hp with pretty big cam. It would be great if the elbows would fit down under the hatch too... I guess this is why they made the Starfire. ... any help would be great...

i would try stainless marine gen 11......They are a lot more narrow in the body....Plus they can due anything with your tail pipes......Give them a call and ask for brownie....

No Cig,did you ever get that new 540 in the water yet to see how she runs?I just got finished with Vixen,changed controles,new carpet,new seat bases,new exh.gaskets and a good tune up.Last time we were out she didnt seem like her old self,when dave started giving me a hard time with his Phantom i knew somthing wasnt right,and she idled like s--t too.Found the hold down bolt had gotten loose ,was running 28 totel instead of 38.Man is he in for a surprise on the next outting.If i could figure out how to post pics on this thing now id be all set. Mel

Nocig you are right, I called Eddie, Imco and Stainless today, Stainless has the most narrow manifold and a low elbow height too. Thanks to the great advise from Jan at Lightning Headers I am only out the shipping cost to trial fit a dummy set. I had no idea that option existed, wow was it worth it. I would be cutting into my Mag and making hatch mod's too if I would have just ordered the custom pipes based on transom measurements. Its too bad they don't fit, tubular headers would have looked great.

tudular headers will look grat but the just done last like stainless marine....It will be the last set you buy, plus the gen 111 make more power on the dyno than any tubulars..

today is the day. sometime after lunch will post video
