I got screwed out of 10' Those bas66ards

Ok 57 is coming around, just like I thought they would. I got the reflectors and the spare tire on the MTI trailer on trade for mine. I'm going to make the sweat it out a little bit longer.

I may have to lean toward your thinking pat.

May seem silly, but it sure is waaaaaay cheaper than making a real mold.

Your buddy S.S. only screwed you out of the part of the boat the thing was actually designed to run on. The 32 feet you got was never ment to contact the water at speed, wonder why it acts the way it does. But they do throw in that "Excitement comes standard" for free to make up for it. :eek:


You keep working those Pier 57 guys, any Velocity is worth the reflectors, spare tire, and the license plate bracket on an MTI trailer. Times are tough right now, you might even pick up half the lug nuts if you really beat them up.

Ragged look at these and tell me what you think. I can sell my 496's 8k to10k for both and come out pretty good I think? He wants 24.5 If I did it this way would be about the same as raylar kit + have the good pistons, crank, headers and -0- hrs & 550hp. The 496 ho advertised 425 hp actually dyno 387 hp. So I would gain 163 HP per side. 1100 hp vs 774 hp should help the "Excitement comes standard" feature and still use the bravo ones. If I did this I would still be way below low retail NADA guidline on my boat.

Which Bravos do you have, standard, X's, XZ's or the XR's?

Velocity Vectory - you are now moving to the dark side! :D away from your initial goals of non-blower, EFI and reliability. I submit that you'll definitely get upside down on the boat buying "no name" blower motors when it came time to sell (if not before). Raylar has some recognition but your still better off with HP 525EFI's if available.

Rev, It say's these motors are Rebuilt "Mercury" 575SCI / 550 hp am I reading it wrong but they aren't blue?

I'm blessed with standard one's. I have run 700hp thru B1 before and the didn't break but I took it easy out of the hole.
