Default Anybody upgrading to biggere power this spring??????

I was wondering if anyone was planning on upgrading to bigger power this spring and if you where who was doing the work???? I figure the way everybody talks the boating market is dead so I figure people are trying to be happy with what they have.

Dropped some parts off at Precision Marine in New Orleans couple days ago, Mark said it was dead for awhile but is now extremely busy. Lots of new motors and rebuilds, including a pair of Merc 1075s.
