I've got the solution to this boat's needs.. Doesn't have a thing to do with outboards though.. It would be a Dramatically better boat

Skate 30 is just being realistic about he 400's. But we can dream and maybe some day. Something has gotta give. He's been a wealth of knowledge to me. We will have to wait til april sometime to see what actually happens for starters. Then the maybe some fine tuning. Steve.

[QUOTE=LAriverratt;4225685]how reliable are the 300x hopped up to 375-400 if that's doable??? ball park...how much $$ does it take to get one there if its a good running powerhead?

From what I know which is very little in my experiences in playing with the Opti's there is no way at this time you can 400hp out of that motor without some serious work and someone to do it. DBR was talking about it but nothing has come of it in recent times.
You can get 400hp or so out of the X Block with port work, crank, pistons, heads, big bore kit etc. I can tell you this. Get ready to spend big $$$ to do it right.
Fullers Marine or Hydratech offer programs for those motors. Keep in mind that with the OPTI the compressor eats about 20hp right off the top.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the new ETEC as they say the new 300 will be over 300hp similiar to the x motors.

From what I have seen the hot package that would get you close to this range would be a 300x with a 3.2 stroker crank, some porting work is needed to take advantage of increased stroke, top it off with a big bore throttle body, light weight flywheel, and a reprogrammed ECU and you should be able to make some pretty good power. Now as far as reliability I'm sure it won't be as bullet proof as a stock motor but I would think that if you kept up with maintenance and took care of them they would be fine....for a few years
