Yes mine has BW and they must be longer because my engines are almost a press fit! Your going to really enjoy that extra room in front of those engines!

Nice looking engine bay. Your motors are 565 hp? What kind of props are you running and what kind of speed have you seen?

It's looking good for making our launch today. Both engines in, drives on, tidying up here and there. If no big setbacks, we should see the water today...

We got her out yesterday and had some cutting out problems with the starboard motor but we were able to get that fixed. Boat ran good. Still got some things to address, the interior, stereo system, I have some decals being cut now, will replace gauges and paint the instrument panel prolly this winter. The boat is now useable. Here's a photo of my brother Brian (short hair) and Shon (long hair). I had them drop me off on a pier and I took the photo and video.

Yeah, we're glad to have the boat useable. Big sense of relief. We've been working hard on this thing for ten months.
