I'd like to Chris but I'm not sure about my truck. I got it out of the shop last week and it seems like it has the same problem again. Comes and goes. I don't trust it enough to pull the boat throu the Adirondacks. Chuck said he has a truck for me to use but....you know.

if you go into canada you can get a enhanced driver license it takes 2 weeks to get at local DMV... we usually just go up and run with the boats we dont sign up for the run with my crew it would be about 1000 bucks I figure thats alot of gas food & drinks I will let you know about the Seneca run that sounds like fun maybe a change would be good

Well I spoke to the wizard & read everyones opinions which were greatly appreciated and I do mean everyones..who would thought it would be so much fun 
but I live in upstate NY & our boating season is short so after all the info it just makes sense to keep the PP and rerig over the winter and save the 100k + it would for the Cig + my PP.. I really like the boat just though it wuold be nice to step up.. I dont know how many performance boaters can say they have 700hrs + on their boats that really use them in rough waters at high speeds trouble free Oil changes & Wax jobs that it must say some thing about the boat . So on to the next part of this debate 502's ,540, EFI , carbrated , SC thinking 650hp- 700hp lets here them opinions I'm thinking budget wise if the blocks & Cranks & rods can be reused that would save some money . Mactime says there was an article in a 98 powerboat mag that they had a 33PP set up with 650s run through bravo 1s 95.1 mph would really like to see that acticle

I would say 540 CARB. ( N/A ) because i hate electronic stuff in a boat. senders and computers and all that just SUCK !!
But i would go with new crank and all that .
Just sell your engines and have new build or by some used 650-700 HP 540's and go thru them ,,that i think is the cheapest way and u know what u got .
But ,,,IMCO'S !!!!!!!!!!!!
