From what I have heard so far, 650HP should get the boat running over 80MPH, but this engine should add some additional speed if I can figure out what drive to use now.
This engine just about rules out the Bravo III drive, so I might resort to the #2 TRS speedmaster except that I don't really want to install a tranny with its additional length or it will be cramped against the back seat. Still looking around at this point. I would have taken some pictures today after Daniel brought it over with a forklift on a pallet, but I got tied up with friends and customers all afternoon. More later.
Thanks, Aaron. I don't know what drive I will be using now that I went with this engine. Daniel didn't even think my Gil Offshore exhaust system would be a good choice with this much engine. I might have gone off the deep end with the power. Bill
