I'm not sure about the power yet, right now I'm thinking a mild upgrade rebuild on the original 420's but you know how that goes. If I can afford it when the time comes I'd like to see 650 hp a side which is about max on TRS drives from what I am reading and hearing. Unless I find a great deal on some motor drive package.

It is definately an upgrade! I cant wait to feel the difference in two boats. Although my Baja has been a good fun boat. And as far as cost I would love to get it on the water for under 30k. I can do almost everything myself so Im hoping that will save a lot.
