I finally decided to start a build thread for my 2000 H2X. My boat originally came with a 7.4 MPI with 320hp. With all the other high performance boats on our lake, I decided I wanted to go faster! I had a 509 bbc built at the beginning of the year that would handle a supercharger, and after reading all about Eddie Young's work at Young Performance Marine I drove 6 1/2 hours one way to drop it off with them back in April. They are modifying my 502EFI intake and installing my M1 Procharger. Eddie is also installing a new camshaft and roller timing set, and they plan on tuning everything on the Dyno. I am excited to get my motor back, but the whole situation has kind of turned in to a nightmare. I was told that everything would take 4-6 weeks. That would have given me time to have everything together before Memorial Day. It is going on 9 weeks and in the middle of boating season the parts are just now getting shipped from Procharger that I was missing. Hopefully it won't be much longer.

That boat should fly when you get it together! Hope its sooner than later.

best use of a glove compartment I've seen yet

That boat should rip! What speeds were you hitting with the 7.4? What are you hoping for with the new motor?

Thanks Davedog. The glove compartment is still functional also!


I have upgraded a lot of things. I have a -2" IMCO shorty and I was turning a 4 blade 24p Bravo around 65-68 GPS. I am carrying a lot more weight than the average H2X. I have around 400 lbs of stereo, speakers (22), amps (4), and batteries (4). All im hoping for is to be in the upper 70s maybe 80s?. What do you think?

Talk about a rockin' stereo! That is a lot of extra weight, but I bet it's worth it.

What's a procharged 502 run... 550ish hp? I'd guess you'll gain 11-13 more MPH, so somewhere in the neighborhood of 76-81 like you thought.

Cool boat! I hope you added hydro steering. That thing should fly.

I just made a new gauge pod and painted it to match

I repainted one of my speaker boxes and painted my woofer grills to match

I made a new stainless fuel pickup as well. Hopefully it will be big enough..
