Paralift plus a TRP lower. Interesting combination for sure.

thats a GREAT score !! mine had 25" props and only turned 5000-5100 but had a killer cruise at 4450-4500/50 mph... I had both of my props reworked to 23's but only picked up 100 rpm and no speed, not sure why, but I had 58 mph w/65 gal fuel and 250# driver @ 5100.... trust me when I tell you Indian's kill for a pair of 22's as they have been obsolete for 10 years from Yammi, and they go for $1,000 pair used.. if you can find them at all... are you ready to play yet?

Need to run fuel line from the onboard filter to the motor, need to add gas and oil....tie up remaining wires, new battery and a few other minor things......then turn the key and let her rip. My goal has been to have it in the water this year....I have a month.

after the first 10 miles with that lower, you'll wonder why you didn't do this 10 years ago...

[Greg Guimond]

Carbo, did you go with the 12" setback Para for performance or just because it would hike the lower fully out of the drink at rest?

Greg......not much thought involved in the decision. When I purchased it there was a blown 200 mercury on the paralift hanging off the back, and I mean hanging off the back. I could have jumped on the cav plate and ripped the whole transom off, it was that rotten. Figured from the beginning I was going to use the paralift.....the wires were rotten to the motor so I rewired and sealed it up. I thought of buying a newer jackplate but heard a lot of good things about the paralift so I stayed with that.

OK...How about a few pics at 99%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a blast to drive. Gets squirrelly over 50 in a chop so need some seat time before top speed reports. I need to go out some morning early when it's flat and let her rip. I agree that you do not ride in these you ride on them.

Very nice! Very clean installation!

Really liking the switches on the swing out panel. I located mine there too, but didn't even think of putting them in a swing out panel for ease of service.

Interesting, using the cockpit cover snaps for the interior/upholstery.
