Sage advice. I've seen many, many people - in search of speed - get downright silly with motor mods. The they find out the outdrive won't handle the power. Next, they upgrade the outdrive - only to find out the hull just wasn't cut out for it. Finally, they find out that their boat was worth twice as much stock as it is now with thousands of dollars in mods that nobody (with any sense) is willing to pay for. Don't join that club. People have literally died doing it.

You stated in your post earlier that you were gonna buy a bigger boat next year. Your best bet (money and problem wise) is to leave that boat alone. It sounds like it runs great now, so just enjoy it the way it is. You'll end up putting alot of money into it, breaking parts, and possibly being down for the season. Your trying to put a 900HP motor in a Chevette. Boats like that can only handle a certain amount of power, then they start chine walking at speeds, cause more trouble than they are worth, and if you have a family, they wont enjoy it. Get a larger boat that is more capable of handling what your trying to accomplish. Until then...leave this fun, family oriented boat alone...lol. :drink:

Great advice. If you just got this boat, you havent learned to drive this boat to its potential yet! And your trying to make it faster? Being a first boat owner, be careful. Boats handle ALOT differently than cars and you really should get some seat time before thinking about a high performance boat. Dont mean to be a downer, but speed kills. Take your time and be smart.
