Thanks. It’s on a rack at Hamilton Harbor Yacht Club. I don’t have a trailer so the work would have to be done there. You’ve done the top of 525s before? I think I’ll also replace the CMI headers...

Good question. We had a 350ss before our 400 and the screen door is the only option we really miss. There must be some reason the can't do one on a 400.

You actually sacrifice about 15 mph vs 525s and there is a lot of fun to be had between 45 and 60. Having said that, I think the 400 with diesels would be really nice if you take fairly long trips. ...

We keep our boat in Naples during the winter and come down for a long weekend most months. Too young to retire but too old to spend the whole winter in MN. A good beer and wine place will be great. ...

Wow I love the Ilmor numbers. Our 2012 400SS with 525s has hit 62 but is generally a 60-61 mph boat. That's with a hard top and plenty of fuel. At WOT we seem to generally be around 82 GPH. At 38...
