So its been awhile...

At the end of last season I ended up cracking two pistons and sent the chunks into the heads and out the valves. Over the winter I had the motor rebuilt. Its now bored .060 over making it roughly a 468. Forged bottom end, heads have been gone through, everything with wear or any seals/plugs has been replaced or upgraded. Low rise intake manifold and a 750 carb. Also, recently picked up an ACME 541 prop. I went from 36 mph @ 4900rpm to 47mph @ 4900rpm with 3 people and 41mph @ 4900rpm with 9 people. Im very happy with the boat's performance.
