my '96 w/330's was 66-67, repowered with 502MPI's with CMI exhaust, reproped with labbed 28 b1's & speed increased to 77-78 & a lot more fun to drive,

LMAO:evilb:....It has so much to do with driving habits versus HP. If the habits are real conservative, it will be fine. If not, those B1's will be smoked in no time. It has very little to do with twins.....

Agree. XR's at a minimum.

Beadman,
Last year we did some March boating if I remember correctly. When will you be available to help launch the old gal? I am trailering her this year.:D

Yes we did. She was a tad brisk but better than not boating.

Trailering?

Probably going to pick up the boat early April. Probably bring it back to do an early launch at Clinton and do drive service, then take it to LOTO.

Should be interesting at the ramp getting that bad boy backed in. Good thing Boody won't be on the water yet. He'd really be pizzed being passed like he was standing still! :evilb:
