MER is Mark Rinda out of South Carolina. Very good engine builder. If he did the motor or work on the boat, it's solid.
Any of you 24 guys looking for a great prop for big HP. My 24 ran a 29P Mirage (not plus) at 92 MPH with the previous owner and 89 MPH with me. It's for sale and mint!!

I would also be absolutely positive in the structural integrity of your hull, before I placed 1000 HP in it.
Good luck.

yes i do agree while the hull looks sound even @ 1000 hp its going to be a hell of a ride i am in the process of detuning.but i am a new patera owner not an idiot(while i do have hp and drives to play with) if my ole lady cant use the boat might as well take the cats out.
