it's a sure sign of Spring when..............
There's a new motor in the hull ......
Thanks to my friends at EB Marine, Eric and Troy for another great job. This one's got more bling to it, and I hope a little more zing too .
I was concerned about this bigger blower (BS871) with a 3" Gilmer belt drive fitting the in the engine compartment. It is tight, but with some minor hatch mods, it looks like I'll be OK.
Should be on the water in a couple of weeks.
Regards,
Steve

As far as dyno #s go, I am leaving that up to the boat and the water. With my and Bob Loyd's HP to speed formula (17HP = 1MPH), I can figure out how much more HP it's making, even though I don't have a perfect picture of what it was LY. As high as 93 octane gas is going to be this summer, that may become my new rev limiter ................

Steve

Wow Steve that thing is sweet. I hope you get all that you hope to out of it. Looking good. I'm getting mine out this weekend for some water testing. It's going to be like 47 and sunny. BURRRRRR but I have to make sure that all is well, and I did a good job on the install. post some numbers when I get back.
