These Chaudron and Nitra are gorgeous hulls, and I love the semi-reasonable price point on the Chaudron, I just wish they were about a foot wider.

Just goes to show there is ZERO entry level in this sport anymore. Even the 10 year old used boats are ridiculous. I just can't fathom/justify paying 220k for a 22' boat with 5 basic seats. Take...

Don't give up on the MPI intake, it can actually support more HP than the 500/525 style. MPI will make more torque than anything on the market but won't go much past 5600 rpm for peak power....

The ProFlo XT Intake makes great horsepower AND torque. Better than a single plane carb manifold.

The Edelbrock EFI stuff is very limited for advance tuning and is garbage.
