If you are moving up after the next season I would save your money. You aren't going to get real big gains unless you make real big changes. Are you still boating this year? I will be running my Cat on Draper Friday with new blower.

If the boat runs good I would spend the money on cosmetics if you are looking to sell in a year. You would never get your money out of the motor mods (like any one does 
) but spruce it up a bit and it will be easier to sell I think.

If you're keeping it, do what makes you happy. If you're selling it, keep it stock. Most guys never trust another guy's hop up job. Regardless of how it performs modified, you will lose value from the questions in the buyer's mind regarding reliability.
Buyers like external mods like CMI's and flame arrestors, but frown on internal mods... Just my 2 cents...

"okie where were you on labor day?"
I was there I just didn't really do anything the way I planned. I went to Preston Point to watch the Poker run and get a closer view even though I had planned on being on the south side of the big island. When we pulled up we decided we wanted to be closer and I was meeting somebody at grand Pappy later anyway. You didn't happen to go behind the big houseboat on the big party beach did you? if you didn't you need to check this out next time
Girls with no tops doing shots and french kissing each other to transfer the alcohol from one mouth to the other! 
Actually, I admit it...I was behind that houseboat the whooole weekend
