Those lines should be plenty. I don't believe my lines were that big from the factory when I upgraded the power in my old 260. I was just curious at what point/horsepower this would become a concern

Looks Good VV!!! BOTH!

As far as the fuel pick up is concerned, I am not sure how the 320's tank is set up, But I have a modified pick up tube in my boat now. Don't want to run it out of fuel!

The new one is -8AN with a full flow fitting for the hose. The factory tube only had a 1/4-5/16 hole where the tube came in to the fitting and then 1/4 npt to 3/8 hose barb!

The one on the left is a good example of a round peg in a square hole.

Thats how mine was set up on my old 260. Looks like VV might have a better setup then we did from the factory. I agree with you, I never wanted to run out of fuel!

She's definatly a repeat customer. After we get a good measurment and get tails made they will be dry exhaust W/ air switchable muffins. Don't look like I have room for the cans. I'd like to rip out the swim platform to be honest.

In the photo is my pad only 3 tail lights wide?
