Kris said he thought they would be honest 700s when he was building them. Now I understand what he means when he says his are 800s. Next step is to get them in the boat, put the five blades in the box, put four blades on (not that the XRs are going to be happy anyway), and do the final tuning in the boat. PS, spare XR in garage, hope it stays there.

Whatcha talkin about Willis. I screwed up on your motors, now we have the same horsepower.
Everyone is going to be hearing the damn song with Wendy on lead vocals.

Kris,
Where exactly are you parking that boat of yours. Rick can steal your motors and I need to steal the drives. Of course Rick would spend the next year polishing all the screws before he would try them in his boat :-)
I plan to get them in the boat this Saturday (weather allowing) and then schedule sometime with Bill to get the on water tuning done. I will keep you updated.

As long as I get to cut the opening in Rick's hatch he can use my motors for a while.
I look forward to seeing the motors in your boat. Talk to ya this weekend.

No need to cutup a boat this is designed correctly before it is built.
Those engines would be a good match for this boat. Too bad they are going in a boat that can't benefit from all the hp that is available.

Kris, Now were back to what you call 800. Let's talk him into blowers on that 43, Wendy can only kill him once. But let's wait until we get my motors back in, he is the only one who can reach the starters. dj

They were only happy on race fuel (very happy). They would run with a decent additive (lucas), but were not happy at all with the 93 from the pumps. So we finished the season with additives and are putting on aluminum heads. Were going to see if Mark (Precision Marine) can make them happy on his dyno before we re-insert and torture the XR's. Everyone we talked with said the set up should have worked without additives or race fuel. But they were not happy. So were trying a different approach and will see how it goes. I have been swamped lately and not on OSO much, so sorry for the late reply.
