Wow, that's quite the upgrade! Can't wait to hear how it runs with that power. Will that fit under the hatch?

So yeah, that's kind of badass. What kind of speeds with the 540?

Yikes that looks tight in there! Can't wait to hear how it runs. Can you post a picture of the backend of your boat? I wanna see what tabs you are running with that crazy hp.

so, i bought what i thought was an XR upper and an IMCO lower. put it on and could not get on plane. what the heck. go back home measure the drive and it's a -2 shorty. tabs down, drive tucked, as soon as it started to roll over on plane, the prop would blow out. so it's safe to say that my prowler don't like a shorty. just in case someone is thinking about installing one. i guess i'll order a spacer and try it again.
