Re: haven't been around much -- now for some good news!
Did Laz rebuild your old engine, or is that new?
Which drive are you running again?
We should be running around the same speeds!!!

Mark,
Damn I can tell your just a little bit anxious, you didn't even bother to take the plastic off before you snapped a pic.
Whats your ETA? Let me know if you could use a hand.

Re: haven't been around much -- now for some good news!
It a fresh mb500 from laz -- he took two on trade with less than 80 hours on them -- he completely redid one of them and i bought it. So with the exception of my alternator, exhaust and power steering pump -- its all new to me.
I'm running a TRS drive with a beefed up merc II tranny.
Hey Storm -- what speeds are you seeing? last year i was at about 72 with just at 500hp
AE -- yep i am anxious!!! I'm going to try and get it in this friday but more likely it will be next week. Thanks for the offer I will keep that in mind!
I hope to be out soon boating with you! (we need to make end-to-end lake run with the panteras!)

Mark,
Mine's not in the boat yet. I was running 64.7 w/ a waterlogged 454mag.
so maybe i was seeing 310hp?
Your engine makes more torque much lower down(more CI).
I'll start w/ a 24"b1 prop and see how she runs.
I'm hoping to break 80mph.
I should be in the water in a week. I'll keep you posted.

Hey Chaos, I just switched my boat to a Bravo from the TRS and have the II tranny if you need any TRS stuff cheap. Your boat should run really well with that motor. Good luck
