I'm rather keen on your first suggestion.
You can have many seasons of economical trouble free boating. Have a look at anyone's engine hours scan sheet and see how little time they actually spend at high revs.

I'm probably in the minority but stock factory power is reliable and gets my vote every time. :)

Nice looking boat, congrats!

Don't know yet.. Just got it home from LOTO, took it out for a quick spin, then had to leave it in the driveway and head out of town for work for the next week :(

Congrats! I like the colors on your 290. I've kept mine relatively stock due to limited time to use it. 496HO is turn key boating when maintained right.

I wondered why that hadnt sold. Seemed like a good deal.

Hey Doug, nice talking to you today... fk'n A!!!! Huge congrats on the new boat. Love the colors and yeah, I'm jealous ya fk'r LOL

And stay the he!! out of the engine room... other than oil changes (o;

Very nice.... love the colors! best of luck with it....

Very nice looking boat..Congrats. Leave the damn motors alone...lol Stay safe and enjoy the remainder of your season.

Keep it stock? , drink light beer , dont use too much salt on your food , date / marry a sturdy girl-not a hottie . The women / boats I had the most fun with were the ones that made me call in sick...

congrats on the purchase, welcome to the Velocity club. That is a great looking boat. Did you contact me on RDP about buying a 290? Somebody did, but it was a different screen name.

LOL..

I will keep that engine stock..

C'mon... this doesn't look like trouble at all does it ? :evilb:

That one will make you miss a week!!!

Congrat's on the new boat, beautiful color scheme too. I'd vote for reliability. My thought is.......there's always going to be someone faster so why bother blowing the coin unless you already have all the parts needed on standby. More power generally means a shorter engine life and the expense of keeping a spare drive ready for a swap out........:eek::D

If you put that motor in the boat, please let me know first. I want to buy stock in the Mercury drive division . And buy a life insurance plan on you.:party-smiley-004:
