Always interested in repowered performance..so howīs yours with Bravos and 500īs...

The DJ boat got 502īs (415hp) and didnīt actually go more than 5mph more than the tired and original 420īs, from 55-to 62 at best.
Back in the 80īs it went 60 in freshwater with them 420īs.
And a new Fountain with 496HOīs does 90 :(

Donīt be afraid...the new EU CE-markings applies to old boats too so they might be a problem to import here (read impossible)
We have prolly enough of KVīs already....plus whatabout Saudis, they have some too....
The one in Sweden in immaculate condition was owned by a Saudi and apparently the guy didnīt use it much or lost interest in it soon.

Besides Europe is Cigarette and Apache country when it comes to Bigger powerboats...

Not afraid!

Your exchange rate is pretty good vs our Dollar, I saw this with aircraft sales as well.

POST SOME PICS! We want to see the KV!

With the Bravo's are everything trimmed out right I can get 73-75MPH. I cruise at 55MPH at around 3500 a side (RPM's)

I was thinking about the kit on the 500EFI to pump them up to 620-650HP or so, I think I can get to 80MPH!

KV is a heavy mother...maybe 600+ will be abit too much with Bravos unless you want to let the props slip a bit.
