Finely got a little time to work on them. I had them about 80% together and decided I didnt like the color, too orange. Took everything off again and repainted them the right color, Pearl Red, to match the boat. I planned on painting the outside of the boat this spring, but have been busy at work, and I dont want to miss AOTH. So, the paint will have to wait until after or maybe next year.

Ok, I know, doesn't look like much, but its 180 total more HP. I hope to get a couple of MPH out of it.

Any Z guys know what 180 HP might give me?

I have to admit, didn't expect that. Although the boat sitting still helps with that. LoL

I was running 330HP, no 420 is what they are sold as. But you know how that goes.

Figure it this way, the 330's were probably more like 300's (gettin tired), so you're probably like 240 more HP's. That's almost like getting another motor without the extra weight. You should definitely be over 100 now (KMH):kingme:

Motors look good Mike, can't wait to see the boat in person,

I like the color!
Those are good looking engines.

But what do I know about red?

It works, orange to red added 180HP, you just have to have the right amount of silver pearl (magic dust) lol

More red to come after AOTH
