Thought the Y2K was going to get a Boyd's upgrade? :D

I Gary's shoes, I'd run that engine until it blew. I ran with SB30 (Scott) many times and the boat ran perfectly. I believe that she topped out around 80mph too.

I had planned on having Jack build a motor and we may sometime soon..... but as Pat said the 496 runs great... I was very skeptical of the pro charger when I bought the boat.... but after running it last year I like it... alot...

Nick - here's alink to a thread about BH drives... interesting & educational I thought....

Tanks Gary, I've read thru it before- lots of good info in it. I even pm'd back and fourth with raceman a while back about the drive, since he switched over to one from a bravo.

Looks like any drive modifications/changes will have to wait for another year... going to go to school for the next year and learn some new skills. I just couldn't pass it up and the timing works out pretty good...

If my Checkmate sells this sping I might be able to do something with the drive... for now, the only plans I have is to check the ecu with a wideband O2 and tune it with the help of Precison Marine if it needs it. Then get some baseline #s with the stock bravo. Next winter, I'll do somthing about the drive.

Good luck with school Nick....

Best of luck in school

Thanks guys, it'll be worth it to give myself another option.

What are you going for? Options....always good!
